How family support boosts student success
While speaking to Briefly News counsellor and emotional support expert Astrid Diaries, supportive families play an "invaluable role" in a student’s academic journey.
"They often step in to help with various tasks. Beyond encouraging study, they assist with chores, prepare nourishing meals, offer brain breaks, and check in with students to ensure they’re on track. As a teacher, I observe firsthand how learners perform in the classroom, answering questions confidently and engaging with activities."
The counsellor and emotional support expert went on to say that parent meetings, however, clearly show the impact of parental support.
"It's easy to see which parents are invested in their child’s education and which view school more as necessary. While parents cannot be solely responsible for a student’s success, they can significantly influence their motivation and ability to work independently," she added.
