“My daughter is struggling with just about every aspect of online schooling now. She has trouble staying organized, remembering assignments, and motivating herself to do the work. It takes her a long time to do homework, and she hasn’t done so well on tests, either. On top of that, she is unwilling to ask her teachers for help. Her struggles are a huge stressor for me, as I cannot stay on top of her all the time.
While many schools are doing a great job with making online learning compelling, some schools, unfortunately, are falling short. All of your daughter’s struggles right now are pointing to one thing: she is spent, overwhelmed, bored, and unengaged with school. If you haven’t already, communicate with the school about what’s going on instead of only managing this only at home. Involve your daughter in the conversation. Ask the school what they will do to better support your child and your family, and check in with your daughter about what types of support she will actually accept. Make sure you outline what the school will take care of, and what you can do at home to assist your daughter.
