Self-esteem is linked to higher grades and improved attendance
Studies show that when children participate in structured after-school activities, their grades are likely to rise.Their attendance is also likely to improve. Why? It may have to do with self-esteem.
After-school programs give kids opportunities to succeed at various activities, and their positive feelings of success may carry over into the classroom.
