1. Provide opportunities for kids to feel they belong and to contribute in meaningful ways

Article review

The article `` How teachers can help students who fail in class to succeed at life`` was written by Mark Katz. The article was published on 24^th May in 2016.

Mark Katz experiences young children, adults in school who did drugs or were depressed loners. During the experience, he finds their way to thriving. Among the most important is ability to see life`s setbacks and difficulties in a new light to reframe them.

He said `` My experience in working with adults overcoming childhood traumas and setbacks has shown me—and research has confirmed—that the meaning we attach to adversity can determine whether we come to see ourselves as resilient and courageous, or helpless and hopeless``.

Also he learns about how influence their experience them. As a result children`s invisible neurodevelopmental, stress-related or other challenges learn and behave in paradoxically uneven ways. The cause of this, it can lead to misunderstanding, to well-intentioned but ineffective intervention.

In his new book, `` Children who fail at school but succeed at life``, he studied kids who are smart in school and struggle in school and he equates resilience with success, ignoring specific learning challenges and important environmental influence.

Nine ways educators can support kids so that fewer will succumb to problems these now-successful adults did decades ago. They are:

1. Provide opportunities for kids to feel they belong and to contribute in meaningful ways.

2. Raise the bar and level the playing field.

3. Don’t expect a child to succeed in isolation.

4. Reward struggle as well as achievement.

5. Be a talent scout.

6. Consider a change of scenery or change the school social climate.

7. Encourage kids to speak out and get involved.

8.  Never underestimate the positive impact you can have on a struggling child’s later life course.

9. Use caution when judging who is and who is not resilient.
