As a coach to parents of adult children who are struggling in college, I have seen certain themes emerge. One very common issue is for parents to feel 'stuck', by having communication disconnects and shut downs with their college students.A very frequent concern parents share with me is about when their adult child does not truthfully inform them of how things are REALLY going at college. They may concede, for example, that course work is difficult but not share just how overwhelmed or even hopeless they feel. Or, many college students may initially report that a semester is going well, only to end up with much lower grades or even being put on academic probation. This can be agonizing, especially if you are one of the many parents paying tuition and/or are highly emotionally invested in your adult child's success. What you can do is create the optimal facilitative conditions to encourage your struggling college student to more honestly open up to you. To help make that happen, consider the following 'Do's' and 'Don'ts' when communicating with your struggling adult child in college.The Do's:. Listen to what your adult child college student may tell you, and, within reason, read between the lines. He may be offering some hints, hoping that you will pick up on them. Be mindful of your tone.

She will be listening carefully too, at that time, for your receptivity to whatever he is telling you. This will likely influence just how much she is willing to share. Model honesty if your student shares something with you that disappoints you. Take this opportunity to 'keep it real' by letting her know, in a non-critical manner, that you are sad, or angry, or worried. Encourage an emotionally safe discussion how the challenges or situation can be improved. Gently suggest getting help.

Tips for Motivating Struggling Students: A Toolkit for Senior Corps Volunteers. This document was created by LEARNS, a partnership of the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory and the Bank Street College of Education. It is based on work sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service under Cooperative Agreement Number. For older students, accommodations can make all the difference. Many students struggle with performance anxiety, especially when it comes to tests. When a student is feeling anxious, their brain simply can’t function as effectively. When we can set up our tests and assignments so anxious kids are less stressed, they’ll likely perform better.

Ask him who he can to talk to at school.

Don’t get me wrong: Teaching 25 students at varying levels in one classroom is equivalent to trying to herd seventy cats through a car wash. We’re not going to hit every mark. Every kid is not going to meet every standard, but can every student show some sign of improvement?

I think so.The first thing I learned in the journey to help my girls was this: Whoever is doing the work is doing the learning. As a teacher I have to make sure my struggling students are working. I have to fight the urge to make it easier for them by giving them answers or telling them what to write. Hard work is good for them.

It’s good for us all. If you find you have trouble keeping a student’s attention on the task at hand, then recognize that that same student will most likely not be an asset in his small group.

If he doesn’t work for you, he won’t be working for them. Instead of giving several tasks or questions and then letting the group go for half an hour, maybe take it one task or question at a time, giving only a few minutes for them to work as a group and then bringing them back together to discuss before moving on to the next one. I realize it’s easy to compile a list. The hard part is implementing it. You’re a teacher.

You do 25 different things every four minutes while managing the behavior of a classroom full of students. Adding 10 more strategies to an already overloaded day is probably not something that can happen overnight. Pick one and try adding it in. Maybe you recognize that your strugglers are chronic hand-raisers, and they rarely accomplish anything because of the exorbitant amount of time they spend with their hand in the air. Give them a sticky note this week.

Next week maybe you can give listing tasks on the board a try.Helping my girls move from unmotivated strugglers to independent learners has been one of the highlights of our journey. They can do more than they ever thought possible. Our classroom strugglers can, too. Let’s help them get there.Jennie is a mom to three and a middle school science teacher. She is a passionate advocate for all things adoption and all things educational. After working with students stuck in hard places, she saw a need she could fill. In 2006 her oldest daughter, Hannah, joined her on this amazing journey called life.

In 2008 she welcomed Ashley, and in 2011 Amy rounded out their family of four. They laugh together, cry together, and, most importantly, share ordinary everyday moments together.
