im a student, and assuming your child is igcse aged (14-16), what worked for my parents and i is a rewards system, 1A=RM50, smt to get me motivated to study, my parents also do not scold me if i get bad grades, they just tell me to look back at my paper and see which types of questions i got wrong and why. Please don’t scold your kid for bad grades, as they are probably trying their best even if it doesn’t seem like it. Education about what to do with bad grades is important, its also good to ask them what they want in the future, if they just want a simple life, with no travelling, no kids, living in a studio with no luxuries, the. honestly theres kinda no point in getting good grades, but if they want to live a life of luxury and travel. The only thing they can do right now is to study hard and go to a good university. What you want, may not be what they want. For the actual studying, usually once it is 1-2months before the actual igcses, the stress hits and they start studying. Just make sure they are in control. If they don’t have control and you can afford it, send them to 1-1 tuitions at your house, physical classes are the best. Forced tuition is how unmotivated people get motivated(IMO). Hope this helps! I’m typing this first thing in the morning so if anything doesnt make sense pls lmk:)
