Developing proper study guidance when young can help your child as they age. Study guidelines don’t have to be elaborate. However, they must be personalized to the individual.
Set Realistic Goals
- Realistically gauge how much it takes to read a chapter or write a paper.
- Help your younger child develop this habit.
- Every child is different.
- He may need to spend more time on one subject than another subject.
- Teach your child to get in the habit of reviewing every night.
Start Small On Large Projects
- Break down larger projects into smaller activities.
- This method works with everything from research papers to math problems.
Homework Starts During Class Time
If you have a few minutes at the end of a class, use the time to ask your teacher about any questions that will reinforce what you just learned.
Variety Is The Spice Of Life
- It’s crucial to have a well-stocked place to do homework.
- But, sometimes you need a spark of originality.
- Libraries, coffee shops, or even a move to a different room in the house, can prompt your brain to retain information better.
No Interruptions Please
- Research shows that it takes about 25 minutes to return to what they were doing pre-interruption.
- Turn off your cell phone and block social media so you can concentrate on the homework at hand.
- Remember, the sooner you get your tasks done, the sooner you can get back to your friends or gaming.
