How to Help Small Children Study Effectively
- Organization: Creating a place dedicated to education could be one way to assist children in becoming more organized. This is not the place to be if there are any distractions nearby, such as televisions, video games, or other screens (with the exception of a computer dedicated to schoolwork).
- Scheduling: It will not suffice to just remind them to study. You will need to be engaged in the prioritization of what to study and when. You should use a study calendar to accomplish this. It is a good idea to have it in a prominent location where the family will often see it.
- Teachers: You can always ask your child’s teachers for advice. Educators will be ecstatic to see you taking the initiative to participate in your child's education. They will gladly provide you with advice on how to help your child improve his or her study habits.
- Practice: You may not get it right the first time. You are going to have to evaluate and reevaluate often to determine what works and what does not. Practice different methods to determine what works best for your child.
