Why Is Student Behavior Getting Worse?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ask a teacher if his or her job is getting harder. Most will tell you student behavior is their biggest professional hurdle. Can dads play a role in fixing things at school? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about how bad student behavior has gotten and how the solution starts at home.
Why This Matters
If we want our kids to excel in the classroom, we should focus on promoting good behavior.
Key Takeaways
· Mental health impacts behavior: Increased anxiety, stress, and frustration make it hard for kids to focus.
· COVID still lingers: The impact is still felt socially and academically.
· Screens have changed kids’ brains: Constant visual stimulation makes paper and books "boring."
Practical Tips to Help Improve Student Behavior
1. Stop Passenger Parenting (see Episode 106).
2. Deal With Anxiety.
3. Relieve Stress Away From School.
4. Start an All Pro Dad Chapter.
