WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR PARENTS TO STAY UPDATED WITH THEIR CHILD’s PROGRESS?

“Behind the child that makes the most progress, is an actively involved parent”

In the 21st century, being a parent is a task, especially when a child is in his / her growing period. It becomes quite difficult to strike a balance between work and children. However, parents play a very crucial role in a child’s life and it is not only restricted to financial aid. Being a parent asks for financial, emotional and also educational support. Every parent is concerned about whether or not their child is doing well in academics. But they often forget the fact that to make them do good, it is very important to get involved in their lives and learn what your child is up to. However, getting involved does not only mean signing report cards every year. It takes more than that. Here in this article, we will talk about the importance of constantly staying updated with your child’s progress and also discuss some of the strategies for the same.

REASONS FOR WHY SHOULD YOU STAY UPDATED WITH THEIR PROGRESS?

 BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR CHILD:

Once you start getting involved with your child and learn about their progress in and outside school, it will help you gain an insight into what your child is good at and in what areas do they lag. By which, you can help them focus on their strengths and work on their weaknesses.

MAKES THEM INDEPENDENT LEARNERS:

Once you understand the root of their problems or the areas where they need more efforts than usual, it gets easy to help them learn and mold themselves into independent learners for which tracking academic progress is a must.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS:

Keeping a check on their progress can help you to set realistic goals for them and design a relevant structure to study which will later help them gain good scores and also keep them organized.

IDENTIFYING STUDENTS AT RISK:

Children at a tender age often get influenced or fascinated by something new without being aware if it is good for them or not. One of the major benefits to tracking student progress is it helps to identify “at risk” kids and if they are going in the wrong direction that can be harmful for them or not.

Thus, keeping up with your child’s progress is very important and you as a parent should most definitely get as involved as you can.

However, parents often fail to find out different ways to monitor their child’s progress. Don’t worry! We got you covered.

Below we will be discussing a few strategies for the same.

STRATEGIES TO STAY UPDATED WITH YOUR CHILD’s PROGRESS:

PARENTS TEACHER MEETING:

The primary solution to understand and know about your child’s progress is to attend parent-teacher meetings regularly. In the growing age, teachers and parents are the ones who know a child closely in two different settings, that is school and home. Thus, it helps to get a better understanding of a child’s behaviour in and outside home environment so that they can be pushed in the right direction accordingly.

EDUCATIONAL APPS:

In this world full of technology, children are more tech-savvy than we are. A child would always prefer a smartphone over anything. However, in some ways smartphones are indeed a boon for parents. Installing some educational apps will make studies easier and a lot more interesting. You can also to track your child’s learning and development through charts and data points as some apps have a software for tracking and organizing all this data. This is a very smart way to keep a check on your child’s progress.

EXAMINE TEST RESULTS:

Check with your child frequently about graded test scores that are sent home. Some teachers send graded work home on specific days, while others send it home as they grade it. At the beginning of the year, find out how your child’s grades are and then be consistent in monitoring your child’s progress. This will help them grow academically, slowly and gradually.

Hence, it takes constant and collective efforts from teachers as well as parents behind shaping young minds. Because George Santayana once said, “A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.”
