There are a number of educational and guidance measures that can be taken to deal with your child's truancy, and here are some suggestions:
1.Understand the reason: The first thing to understand is the reason why the child is truant, which may be because of learning difficulties, social problems, family environment, etc. Communicate with your child to understand their feelings and distress and find out the root cause behind the truancy behavior.
2.Establish a good family atmosphere: Create a warm and harmonious atmosphere in the family, focusing on communication and understanding between family members. Give your child enough love and support to make them feel safe and happy, and reduce the motivation to skip school.
3.Establish clear rules and rewards and punishments:* Work with your child to set clear rules and rewards and punishments that clearly inform you of the consequences of truancy. Reward children for following the rules and going to school on time, while setting appropriate penalties such as reducing pocket money, limiting activities, etc.
4.Establish good study habits: Help children establish good study habits and self-discipline, including regular work and rest, effective study methods, time management, etc. Provide the necessary learning support and guidance to help them overcome their learning difficulties and stress.
5.Keep an eye on the school: Keep in close contact with the school to keep track of your child's performance and situation at school. Communicate with teachers to seek support and help for your child to work together on learning and behavioural issues.
6.Guided problem-solving skills: Cultivate children's problem-solving skills and ability to cope with challenges, teach them how to face difficulties and pressures, and find effective solutions. Give your child enough support and encouragement to help them overcome difficulties.
7.Seek professional help: If truancy persists and interferes with your child's life and learning, it is advisable to seek professional mental health help. A psychologist or education specialist can provide individualized help and advice to help your child readjust to school life and develop a positive attitude towards learning.
Through the above methods, you can cope with your child's truancy behavior, establish a positive and healthy learning attitude and behavioral habits, and help them overcome learning difficulties and pressure, and achieve good academic and growth.
