8. A GOOD STUDENT KNOWS HOW TO LOOK AFTER THEIR MENTAL HEALTH
One of the greatest obstacles to a child’s academic success can be their mental health. Anxiety, in particular, is a growing concern in South African schools. Students have many stresses that may originate from home, their peers or from self.
Students who reported feeling confident while doing difficult schoolwork fell from 76% to 59%. It is very difficult to learn when in a state of stress. If a child hasn’t been taught the emotional regulation skills required to create calm and a sense of flow, it is very hard to achieve success.
