Bullying 

One report has revealed that about 70% of people will be bullied before they reach the age of eighteen. It’s perhaps worth noting that bullying can occur in a variety of different forms. For some, it might just be name-calling while for others it could be more physical. Bullying can have long-lasting consequences and it can be incredibly serious. One of the issues here is that there is often no set way to handle bullying; it differs from school to school and class to class. If you are worried about this, it’s important to maintain an open relationship with your child. They should feel comfortable telling you if they are having issues. You need to make sure that you understand how to handle this the right way. Once you notice an issue, speak to the school immediately. 

Sensory Trouble 

Alternatively, it’s possible that the issue that your child is having in class is a sensory problem. They could have trouble seeing the front of the classroom or hearing the teacher. This is why you should make sure that you get your child’s hearing and eyesight tested about once a year. Doing so can guarantee that you are not going to miss any issues here that could stop your child getting the education that they deserve. There are specialists like a child audiologist that can help you here and ensure that your child does get the right level of treatment that they need. 

New Learning 

It’s worth noting that school is based on the concept that everyone learns in the same way and using the same techniques. This, however, is not the case. The reality is quite different. Instead, everyone learns in a unique way. While some people benefit from learning through verbal communication, others will find looking at information that has been written down a lot easier. A teacher won’t be prepared or equipped for different learning methods. That’s why it’s important to help find the right way your child learns at home. This is going to help them when they are studying and ensure that they don’t get stuck trying to follow everyone else. 

Bad Teaching 

Alternatively, it’s possible that the reason that your child is struggling in school is due to an issue with the teachers themselves. Teachers aren’t all equal and some do have issues connected and reaching their students. A clear sign that there’s an issue with the teacher will be if all or most of the children in the class are struggling. If you notice this, you should speak to the school and the other parents to find the right solution for your kids. 

We hope this helps you understand some of the key reasons why your child could be struggling in school and the right steps that you can take.
