With a few simple measures you can help to strengthen your child's resilience in the long term. These tips easily lead to more mental resilience and self-confidence:
"Turning away from perfectionism and a positive error culture are an important step so that children become happier and more successful", knows Felix Ohswald, CEO and co-founder of the Viennese tutoring start-up GoStudent. Mistakes are human - and if you deal with them correctly, you can actually learn from them.
First and foremost is the acceptance that mistakes cannot be avoided. It also takes the courage to admit mistakes and speak openly about them - so you should always show your child that failures do not have to be covered up.
The decisive factor is the parents' reaction to the children's mistakes: allegations and emotions are counterproductive; instead, the problem should be discussed calmly and prudently. Last but not least, you should get to the bottom of the error together and try to eliminate the causes and find workable solutions. And don't forget: Always look ahead with optimism!
In school in particular, mistakes cannot be avoided. A failed exam, a blackout at schoolwork - none of this is the end of the world. It is important, however, that the parents support the child in working on any weaknesses and in building more self-confidence to cope with future tasks. The right learning climate, joint learning and regular exchange on the subject matter help ensure that school challenges can be mastered well.
Targeted tutoring can also be useful. At GoStudent, dusty ideas about tutoring are cleaned up: The platform has set itself the task of simplifying learning and bringing digitization into an outdated system. Schoolchildren get exactly the support they need in homework chat and individual tutoring in the “virtual classroom”. Each child receives full attention and is cared for according to their individual learning needs. The tutors from GoStudent are also available during the summer holidays and are available with intensive support for all learning questions - so every student gets better grades in a short time.
