Signs That Your Child Needs a Tutor
Whether You
don't want to wait until report card time to realize that your
child is struggling in school. Throughout the year, keep an
eye out for these warning signs:
His/Her test scores seem low, even though she's studying hard.
His/Her teacher says she's being disruptive in the classroom.
His/Her motivation has dwindled.
He/She gets noticeably upset before going to school
(especially on test days) or when it's homework time.
He/She asks to stay home from school more than usual.
He/She says she's "stupid" or that she'll "never do well in
school."
He/She avoids all school-related functions.
He/She doesn't want to talk about his/her day.
You'll notice these signs sooner if you participate in your
child's education. Help her with her homework, or ask
periodically if she needs a hand. Don't be overbearing, but do
be proactive.
Involve the School Early
Most teachers will contact you first if they think your child
needs a tutor or has a problem that needs to be addressed.
Talk candidly with them if they call. If they haven't reached
out to you but you've noticed any of the signs above, pick up
the phone.
The Bottom Line
Your child might just be having a bad day. Look for patterns.
If you're concerned, contact her teachers. Most importantly,
talk to your child, and don't get frustrated if it takes her a
while to open up.
