- Check-In Regularly:

- Praise Effort, Not Just Outcomes:
Encourage your child to put in effort and try their best, rather than just focusing on achieving high grades. This can reduce anxiety and fear of failure and make them more accountable for their learning process.

Create a quiet, organized, and distraction-free study space where your child can concentrate on their work. Also help your student limit distractions during study/homework time by having them turn off their phones, taking their phones during this time, or using parental apps that block phone usage.

Remember that every child is different, and what works for one may not work for another. It's essential to adapt your approach based on your child's personality and needs. The key is to provide consistent support, guidance, and a nurturing environment that encourages responsibility and accountability.
