What do we mean by High Expectations?
There's nothing wrong with high expectations, in fact, these can pave a way a student's success, but this all depends on how these expectations are perceived and shown to your children. While high expectations can be helpful, these can also be causes of stress and pressure for them. Not presenting these expectations to your children in a helpful and uplifting way can be very mentally straining for them, so we are here to help you, help them!
Mom! Hear Me Out:
A Student's
Heart.
Our advocacy campaign’s focus is to help students’ voices be heard and educate parents & others who pressure and discourage the students with their standards of achievements in school.
Mom! Hear Me Out:
A Student's Heart.
Listen.
Parents, listen actively.
Always let your child talk about their struggles regarding school and life in general. Openly communicate with them so they know that you are always there for them.
Mom! Hear Me Out:
A Student's Heart.
After learning about your children's struggles, think about the way you have been treating your child. "Have I been putting too much pressure on them?" Learn this and look for things to improve upon in your parenting. Always try to be the best parent you can be for your children.
Learn.
