Learning is what most children do from the day they are born. Every day is a learning process and it is our job as parents to be your number one source of knowledge and wisdom.
Teaching children is not always an easy process: there are days when they will not feel interested or motivated. There will be days when you don’t want to go to school. The key is to be patient as little ones learn best at their own pace.
There are many ways to encourage learning in children. Try these 5 easy and effective ways!
spend time with your little one
Children learn best from their parents, especially during the early years. It is important for every child to know that their parents believe in them. When a child lives in a loving and nurturing environment, he will be more motivated to learn new things and do well at everything.
Spend lots of quality time with your little one, and don’t forget to remind her that you believe in her and her ability to do well.
Involve your extended family
As mentioned, the very foundation of learning for children is being in an environment that is nurturing, encouraging, and supportive. It would be helpful if you ask the people who care about your little one (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, close friends, etc.) to help encourage him to do well in school. In this way, you will be motivated even when you are away from home.
Make your quality time a learning experience
Daily play and quality time with your little one is important. Why not make it a fun way to learn? Read a book (act out the characters!), play educational games, sing fun songs, do crafts, or visit a museum (make sure it’s age-appropriate!). New activities and new environments help a lot!
homework first
There will be time for rest and fun, but make sure your child knows that all school work needs to be done first. Set up a quiet spot in your home for your little one to study or do homework. Check his work, make sure everything is complete, and let him explain what he is learning.
Have a “school is great” attitude
To encourage your child to study harder and let her know that school is important, show an interest in what she is doing and learning at school. Be sure to ask her about her day, anything new she learned, or anything interesting that happened at school.
