Imagine your child comes home with a worse grade than you expected. What is the first thing that crosses your mind?

Select an answer:

Maybe I pushed him too hard. He can't concentrate – something is probably weighing on his mind. It’s happening again, I’m getting angry. No worries, it's just a grade. I need to find out what exactly happened.

How would you describe the silence that follows the announcement of a bad grade?

Select an answer:

Suffocating, full of anticipation. The silence in which I try to take a deep breath. Unpleasant, but necessary. Natural – I give things space. Silence as a warning – something must come.

Which words best describe your inner dialogue in such situations?

Select an answer:

"He must try harder." "I must be calm." "I should have expected it." "How would I perceive it as a child?" "What options does he have when something isn't going well for him?"

If you could choose a metaphor for academic failure, what would it be?

Select an answer:

A road with potholes – slower, but it leads further. Avalanche - a small failure triggers a chain of events. Fog – I don't know what is behind it. A stone in the shoe – it’s annoying, but it can be managed. The storm – intense, but it will pass.

How do you react when a child does not show remorse or interest in a bad grade?

Select an answer:

I'm looking for a way to talk to him even when he is silent. I feel rejected. I take responsibility – maybe I don't understand him. I'm giving him space, maybe he needs time. I want to know what he feels, even if he doesn't say it.

What tone should a conversation about grades have, in your opinion?

Select an answer:

Factual – without unnecessary emotions. Open – I want to know his perspective. Emphatic – grades are important. Supportive – I want him to feel accepted. Reflective – learning from one's own mistakes.

Which sentence would bother you the most if it were said to you as a child?

Select an answer:

"How could you mess that up?" "That's a shame." You are a disappointment. "I didn't expect that from you." "It's okay, I was never interested in grades either."

How would you describe your approach to mistakes?

Select an answer:

They are an essential part of growth. I am afraid of them, even though I don't admit it. I prefer to preempt them rather than having to deal with them. I am curious about what caused them. Mistakes frustrate me - they show my failure.

When do you feel that a child is most attentive to what you are saying?

Select an answer:

When I sincerely ask him for his opinion. When I am calm and present. When I raise my voice. When I tell him something about myself. When I feel that I can trust him/her.

Which image best represents your parenting goal?

Select an answer:

The hand that lifts. Compass in a dense forest. A mirror in which one can see oneself and others. House with open doors. Wall with a map of options.
