And it's not just about the cost that you have to invest in free education, but also the unwillingness of children to gnaw the granite of science. After all, it's boring to sit at the desk first, and then at the desk at home, when there are lots of more interesting things around.
The value of the acquired knowledge begins to be assessed only with age, when due to the once-manifested laziness, to achieve something becomes much more difficult. That's why parents pay special attention to studying in the family.
Making a child study is a difficult activity. Remembering ourselves, we understand that in any case, the child will find a way out, how to get out, to cheat, to lie, and at the same time all just to not do the homework or go on an unloved lesson. Therefore, we have to look for other ways that would reveal and preserve the children's interest in learning.
There are several ways that will help you find a common language with the child, and if you do not bring up a future professor in it, then at least be calm for his certificate.
Understanding.
Before you make big eyes and say the coveted: "and I'm at your age ...", remember your years? Did they have computers in every apartment, the Internet, mobile communications, a large number of household, office equipment and peripherals? You could afford all modern children's literature, toys, adaptations for creativity, such an abundance of circles and development programs? Probably not. But now compare the total amount of information that was necessary to remember you, and with what you need to cope with it now. And, of course, add to this the school curriculum, which, it is worth noting, has also become more complicated since you graduated from school.
After analyzing the current situation, you do not need to start blaming the education system, and parents who, in addition to lessons, also load children with extracurricular activities, because this is part of our modern life, and we must learn to live in such conditions. Moreover, children more easily perceive everything new, and with the correct formulation of the question of studying in the family, special difficulties should not arise.
It's right to start.
As a rule, everything starts from the beginning, and it is necessary to instill the child's interest in the educational process from the first minutes spent at the desk. Do not rely on the teacher, although he also plays in this is not a secondary role. Start acting yourself, or rather, inactive. Now it's fashionable to take the child before the school to additional training courses. Usually, in such courses, the children in the abbreviated form take the course of a young soldier, or rather a first-grader. They are taught to write, read, count, sometimes even begin to give the basics of foreign languages. On the one hand, there is nothing wrong with this, but on the other hand, if the child knows everything, he will simply be bored in the lessons. Especially since your dear child will have to spend another 11 years at the desk, so you do not need to do this without time, unless absolutely necessary. If you want to give him some basics - do it, play it, and "pull up" the knowledge directly in the learning process in school.
Preheat the interest of the future first-grader to learning. Describe the school as a necessary and responsible stage in his life, without forgetting at the same time to remember new friends, interesting lessons and other positive information. A good incentive is the joint acquisition of a new office, a form and, of course, a portfolio. For some students up to the last grade, this process remains the most beloved.
Every work should be rewarded.
For a child studying, this is the same as for most adult work - I do not want to, but I need it. The only difference is that you are rewarded for your work in the form of wages, and you have an incentive, seeks to raise it. The child, for his efforts, usually receives only marks, which rather serve not as a reward, but as a determining factor. And you would become, work hard, only for the praise of the authorities and a tick in his journal?
The main thing is, do not take it, it's like demanding to pay children for grades. You do not need to pay anything if you do not want it yourself, but it is necessary to encourage the child. First of all, praise your baby for good grades, and cheer when he does not succeed. It is possible to conclude a contract with him for the fulfillment of his wish, in case of a successful end of the quarter. It can be buying a coveted thing, a trip, entertainment or some kind of surprise. Of course, it is better if you make such a gift unexpectedly, arguing for its good behavior and excellent study. Then the next time the baby will try to show the result, in the hope of reward, this will help to keep interest in learning. The main thing you do not disappoint him.
Do not pull the blanket over.
The main thing to remember is that your child is going to learn, not you. So do not try from the first days, sit down with him daily and solve problems, write letters, and read the primer. It is clear that the child is difficult at first, and he needs help, but do not impose his help until he himself asks for it. The last resort is when you see that there will be no business and help at least start, and then let it go on.
Also help the child learn how to allocate large amounts of work. If there are a lot of lessons, break them into two or three stages. In breaks you can play, walk, watch cartoons. First, do the hardest job, leave it at ease.
Do what you need, and what you want.
Another way to keep children interested in studying in the family is never to limit the child's occupation to just a school. Allow and encourage his desire to do what he wants, go to extra circles and classes. Do not try to impose your opinion, let the child choose. And it does not matter what it will be: sports, painting, dancing, singing, playing the instrument, embroidery or a foreign language, the main thing is that this activity would bring the child moral pleasure.
Believe in the ability of your baby, and then you will succeed.
