When your children start bringing home lower grades, don't instantly decide that they need tutors, a learning center, or special help to bring up their grades, or that they should immediately be tested for a learning disability. Instead, first investigate if the cause is one of the common pitfalls listed below that possibly could easily be remedied, putting them back on the good grade track.
- Minor health problem
- Vision problem
- Sleep deprivation
- Poor nutrition
- Too much time playing games on phones and computers
- Excessive time on Instagram or Tik Tok
- Forgetting books and papers at home or at school
- Too many afterschool activities
- Poor attendance at school
- Not doing homework
