Quote From: sheriearlI am a psychologist and hypnotherapist and have been helping many students in and around my community with test anxiety, memory, confidence, sports improvement, and the results have been higher grades and happier kids, at school, as well as, at home. Hypnosis is fun and exciting for kids. They respond well because they typically don't have the fear and misconceptions that adults do. It also is the "instant gratification" that teens are always looking for. Hypnosis is often immediate, results seen after the first session. You have to empower your teen to choose this method. Don't push them into it, just mention it. Have a hypnotherapist come to their psychology class for an informative discussion. Kids love when I come to class. I hope this helps any of you with kids struggling in school, and parents struggling at home.
It is a relief for me to see that there teens who behave in school like mine. My twelve year old boy is now in the 6th grade. He is a very bright boy and kind. When it comes to studying, reviewing for knowledge and good performance in school, he feels as though he doesn't need. Or sometimes gives excuses as such, he doesn't have homeworks, He is very tired, he would want to go out and play because he has already reviewed in school or on the bus from school.
On 30th of September, just one day before his 12 birthday, my husband and I set down with him and discussed through issues about his growth, life, pedophiles, well performance in school and consequences in life when the basic is not taken seriously at its core. He revealed to us the fear that he has before starting a quiz or an exam. He sweats, bites his fingernails, goes blank, or sometimes gets irrection . Since he was in the 3rd grade, teachers always said that he is bright, intelligent, very potential boy and perform much better but lacks concentration. His books and copy books are not organized. Sometimes for him to study well, we have to do the police rule, meaning standing up and constantly reminding him how to do his work and when to do. My Husband and I seriously engage ourselves in our children learning but still it feels like we have failed him in away. I particularly felt that I have pressured him a lot.
I have applied different methods to improve his behavior and performance but still the same problem with concentration and bad grades. I have also called school psychologist to discuss this issue but still not successful. I wish this show was to be aired in Helsinki, Finland at the above date for me to follow through but I guess I'll just read it on the internet.
Could you help ways to help him improve?
Thanks in advance,
Hardworking, in Helsinki, Finland
