How to make your son love studying
Offering a reward to the son
You can encourage the son in his early stages to study by offering incentive offers that reward him, if he commits to his duties in the appropriate manner and at the appropriate time, so that the reward is related to things he desires and is inclined to, such as: his favorite food or sweets, or visiting a favorite play place for him, or increasing the time allocated to watching the cartoons he loves, noting that this method is ineffective in the long term, but it is a motivation for learning at certain stages.
Focus on learning more than the mark
Parents should pay attention to the things that the son learned in the classroom and the activities he practiced, more than focusing on the marks he obtained, because despite the importance of the mark, the child’s focus should be directed to learning more than making an effort just to get the mark.
Diversification in learning methods
Children’s inclinations towards the subjects or materials they prefer to learn vary, as do their learning methods. It is in the child’s interest to know his preferred learning method, as this helps him improve his academic performance in quantity and quality. Learning methods vary to include visual, auditory, verbal, mathematical (logical), physical, social, and individual methods, which makes it important to know the appropriate method for the child to focus on. For example, visual children rely on seeing things and how they work, while auditory children rely on listening to the explanation more. It is noted that some of them follow one method and others follow multiple methods.
Explaining the importance and benefit of studying
Some children believe that studying is an abstract and useless matter, which makes it necessary to explain the importance and benefit of studying to the son, and how it draws for him the beautiful future he wants, as through his studies and good academic achievement he is able to enter the college that enables him to reach the position and profession he wants to reach.
Choosing the right place to study
It is recommended to choose the right and quiet place for the son to study and solve school assignments regardless of the beauty of the place, as it is possible to study in the child’s room or the dining room and others, so that any distractions for concentration are kept away, and all the necessary supplies for studying must be provided from papers, pens, books, notebooks, etc., and a ready-made or designed wall board can be hung by the child himself to stick the required school topics and tasks on it.
Satisfying the son’s curiosity
The son’s curiosity and love of exploration must be satisfied by giving him a wide space and freedom to ask questions and inquiries about what is on his mind and providing answers to those questions; Because this is one of the needs of the age stage that children live in, given that everything is new and mysterious to them, so you should not ridicule or mock any question that the son asks, and do not make him feel ashamed to ask questions.
Participating with the son during study time
Sitting with the son while he studies is a motivating thing for him, as the mother or father can be with their son in his place of study and participate with him in reading or doing their own office work at the same time as his study; to make him feel that he is participating in this time away from using the phone or laptop.
