15-Part Series: Unlocking the Potential of High-Risk Students
Discover strategies, insights, and a touch of humor as we dive into the world of high-risk students—those who turn avoidance into art and tension into teacher headaches. This series explores how to identify, understand, and support students facing social, academic, and emotional challenges. From selective forgetting to spotlight-seeking behavior, we’ll tackle the complexities of their world and share ways to transform obstacles into opportunities for growth. Perfect for educators, parents, and anyone who’s ready to help these kids shine.
8. The Parent Trap: When High-Risk Students Rely Too Much on Mom and Dad Some high-risk students rely heavily on parents to complete assignments or stay on task. While this might seem like support, it can lead to learned helplessness.
Encouraging independence is key. Gradually shift responsibility back to the student, while providing the tools they need to succeed. It’s not about cutting the safety net—it’s about teaching them how to climb.
