Case: High pressure
Student is overly fearful of disappointing their parents academically, what can I do to help alleviate that stress?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
First, you must ask the student what might happen if they do get a bad grade. If this "overly fearful" is fear of any sort of abuse (physical, emotional, neglectful, mental, etc.), then it is your job as a mandatory reporter to let someone else know. Even if it's just "if I fail a test, my mom will yell at me." No child deserves to be yelled at. Conversely, if the consequences of failing a test are mental (I won't be the perfect student anymore, I'm only worthy of _blank_ if I get good grades, etc.) that is something for the teacher, the guidance counselor, and the student's parents to help them with. Mental health for students (even as young as elementary) is very low right now, and that might be the root of this student's problems.
As a last answer to your question, what can you do to help your student not be afraid of disappointing their parents if they fail? Tell them that their parents will love them no matter what the score. Let them know that YOU will care for them no matter what they achieve (that might be the most important thing they hear this year). You can tie in SEL and tell them that whatever score they get, their parent's reaction is their choice, not the student's. |

| Comments: This might be the best solution as it covers most of the main issues that can stem from this situation. Caution of any external pressure on the child is important, as well as providing praise and support for the child. |

| Comments: Overall I found this to be an incredible solution to the proposed problem! By asking questions, the teacher can better understand the situation and the mental space of their student. Additionally, this accepting behavior and statements can help to calm the student of their anxiety. |

| Comments: I love this solution. Student mental health is super important and should be valued, and at the same time, it is our jobs as teachers to make sure our students are safe if something appears off at home by reporting. |
