孩子在备考阶段, 家长应该如何配合?

学校评审季节又到了，部分家长开始会表现出极度的关心，陪读到深夜，给孩子吃补品，关怀备至。当学生看到父母为他所做的一切，怎能无动于衷？父母沉甸甸的希望对孩子造成了极大的思想负担，如果考得不好，孩子会感到愧疚，使原本就很大压力的孩子又增添了一份亲情的压力，这对于考生的备考状态会有一定影响，因此，父母最好以平常心对待，不要给孩子增添压力。只有父母以平常心对孩子的学校评审，才能让孩子以更好的心态、更好的状态去迎接这场战役。

我们也希望家长配合学校做好学生的应考准备工作，但是我们提醒家长要注意以下几点，以免瞎帮忙。

（一）降低过分期待，减轻孩子过重思想压力。

对孩子，家长应该有着正确的定位，不要去和别人攀比，人的能力有大小并且各有其长，只要孩子尽力在学，家长就值得欣慰。当然情况是千差万别的，对那些至今仍贪玩好耍不知努力学习的孩子，还是要增加一点压力，并严格要求，孩子的成绩从某种意义上讲是逼出来的，不过在逼的过程中要根据自己孩子的个性采取科学有效的方法，一定要注意适度。

（二）多沟通和引导

家长要正确看待孩子考试的分数，有时候孩子考试成绩不好，父母也不要大惊小怪，更不能责骂孩子，应心平气和地同孩子分析考不好的原因。是考试题目过难，大家分数都不高？还是基础知识不到位？还是考试技巧不行？还是学习没有努力？

少埋怨，多与孩子沟通，讲讲你的想法、经验，听听孩子的意见。 对孩子心中的烦恼，家长应和老师配合，给予及时的辅导。对孩子的每一个优点，每一次进步，家长都应给予鼓励和赞扬，以增强孩子的自信心。家庭应是孩子学习和生活的平静港湾, 家长应给孩子营造一个宽松愉悦的家庭环境，使孩子能有一个健康的心理进行复习备考。

在此，李院长预祝同学们考试顺顺利利, 记得全力以赴哦!

The Essential Parental Responsibilities - By Chris Theisen

Nobody ever said that children were easy to raise. They don't come with guidelines or instructions, and they certainly don't come with a pause button. What they do come with is a crucial set of physical and emotional needs that must be met. Failure of the parents to meet these specific needs can have wide-ranging and long-lasting negative effects.

The following outline provides some essential responsibilities that parents must adhere to in order to foster their child's physical and/or emotional well-being:

Provide your child with SELF-ESTEEM NEEDS.

• Accept your child's uniqueness and respect his or her individuality.
• Encourage (don't push) your child to participate in a club, activity, or sport.
• Notice and acknowledge your child's achievements and pro-social behavior.
• Encourage proper hygiene (to look good is to feel good, or so they say!).
• Set expectations for your child that are realistic and age-appropriate.
• Use your child's misbehavior as a time to teach, not to criticize or ridicule.

Teach your child MORALS and VALUES.

• Honesty
• Respect
• Responsibility
• Compassion
• Patience
• Forgiveness
• Generosity

Develop MUTUAL RESPECT with your child.

• Use respectful language
• Respect his or her feelings
• Respect his or her opinions
• Respect his or her privacy
• Respect his or her individuality

Provide DISCIPLINE which is effective and appropriate.

• Structured
• Consistent
• Predictable
• Fair

Involve yourself in your child's EDUCATION.

• Communicate regularly with your child's teacher(s)
• Make sure that your child is completing his or her homework each night.
• Assist your child with his or her homework, but don't DO the homework.
• Talk to your child each day about school (what is being studied, any interesting events,...etc.).
• Recognize and acknowledge your child's academic achievements.

Get to KNOW YOUR CHILD.

• Spend quality time together.
• Be approachable to your child.
• Ask questions.
• Communicate. Communicate. Communicate.
  

Now that we've looked at the responsibilities parents HAVE, let's look at what responsibilities parents do NOT have. The following is a list of responsibilities that no parent should be expected to meet.

• Supplying your child with the most expensive designer clothes or shoes available.
• Picking up after your child/Cleaning your child's room.
• Dropping everything you're doing to give your child a ride somewhere.
• Providing your child with a telephone, television, computer, or game system.
• Bailing your child out of trouble every time he or she does something wrong.
• Maintaining an unlimited supply of treats, chips, sodas, or junk foods for your child's unlimited consumption.
• Replacing toys or other items that your child has lost or misplaced.
• Welcoming any or all of your child's friends into your home for social or other activities.
