How to Develop Your Child’s Good Study Habits

For many parents, motivating their children to study means keeping track of them and always providing them with reinforcements (in the form of rewards) just to bring them to their study room.

With so many distractions that take children away from their textbooks, such as computer gaming and mall hopping, finding ways to make studying a fun learning activity for them has indeed become a daunting task for many parents.

Here are some helpful ones.

One effective way of developing a child’s studying habit is to have a regular time for studying, either before or after school hours. Should it be in the morning or in the evening? Also try to find out how much time your child must spend in studying a subject. Children easily develop a habit if an activity is done and repeated regularly.

Designate your child’s hideaway for studying.
It need not be a big place. Create a secure, comfortable atmosphere by designing the place in ways that would advance clear thinking for positive learning. Instead, try fresh plants or flowers on a transparent glass vase, or an aquarium of colorful fishes. To complete the ambience, soft, mellow music should fill the air.
Check also the light in the study room – it must not be too dim nor too bright.

Get to know what makes learning easy for him/her.
Or perhaps he/she needs to highlight or put color on the important key words in the learning module.

By the way, if your child gets to comprehend or memorize better while eating, allow him/her to have some snacks in the study room.
He/she only has so much time in a day to review his/her lessons and do all homeworks.

Encourage your child to be creative.
Studying need not be boring and onerous. For example, his/her notebooks can be made personalized with his/her own cover designs.

He/she gets tired too, you know.
If your child has to study for a longer period of time, let him/her take a 5-minute break for every 30 to 45 minutes of studying by doing some stretching or by relaxing the eyes.

It is not a bad idea at all for parents to give their children some rewards from time to time for studying well. Have I mentioned a mother’s reward scheme for her kid who’s now in sixth grade? I probably can describe it best by saying here that her kid has consistently topped her classes since the first grade.
