Sometimes all a child needs is a little creative involvement from Mom and Dad. Here are some very simple easy-to-use ideas that might help.
School is Important!
51 Consciously learn something new every day and make a game of it with your family. Make homework a family activity and take part in it by checking in and helping out.
Set Realistic Goals
Be reasonable. Don’t expect miracles to happen overnight. 52 Help your child understand what they’re trying to achieve and that there are no short cuts. Improving their grades is a goal worth reaching, not a punishment. 53 This will give them a say in their educational future.
Be an Adviser
Be available for your child. If you’re willing to sit down and help them get through their tough homework, they’ll be more willing, too. Remember that learning is about encounting what you don’t know. That can be scary! 54 Your child will learn more quickly if they can depend on you to help no matter what the problem is.
Know When to Ask for Help
Know when to turn to a tutor (导师), or any of the numerous programmes connected with local schools and libraries. 55 Consider seeking professional help. An tutor should be able to identify problems and give suggestions on how to help a child learn to their full potential.
A. Many children suffer from learning disabilities.
B. Academic progress is a slow but steady process.
C. Allow your child to suggest solutions to the problem.
D. When your child succeeds make sure they are congratulated.
E. Be patient when helping your child master new skills.
F. Talk about how valuable education is and how it can benefit your child’s future.
G. Establishing an environment where learning is fun and important is a great thing to do.
