how can you help kids too get more interested in their studies?

Question

sometimes they get bored in reading books and doing their homework.they have more time in watching tv than reading.

Answer 1

STUDIES at a young age has to be fun, and then studies turn into curiosity and fun, a child cannot stay interested in there studies by there self, they have to start with imagination of wonder to change to reality, get them to ask questions and answer them by thinking, and research is very important all through life, example- zoo animal life from creation to death, their purpose, and why, science-of all category's, air,gravity,oxygen, are only a few, human life creation,research all beyond school, every day life is all connected to the studies and homework. reading is good but sometimes you have to add everyday examples, and reality to it to have them stay interested with there studies, it is not just the schools responsibility but the parents, grandparents

Answer 2

As the parent, your job is to set limits. My kids are allowed only 30 minutes a day of TV, so they have to pick their favorite program.

Study what THEY'RE interested in - if it's chemistry, do some experiments (lots of good books out there); if it's poetry, study poets and their writings; if it's the Civil War, study that; if it's Yu-Gi-Oh, relate it to math; if it's SpongeBob, relate it to real-life (or not) or talk about the writing/grammar.

Set up rewards for doing homework - finish homework by X time, get 30 more minutes of TV. Read for 2 hours this week, get a 2-hour TV bonus. Money is a GREAT motivator - my son gets a $5 bonus for finishing his math homework within one hour.

Answer 3

Make the TV work for you - like the Sponge Bob answer earlier. Use the CSI TV shows to use math and science around the house. Create your own crime scene for your student to solve using chemistry and math. Then use the English/grammar to write up the lab reports and convict the criminal in a lawyer's summation. Social studies can be connected, too, by way of psychology of why certain crimes are committed, etc. or by how certain regions lend themselves to particular types of crimes. You can also tie crime solving to literature: Agatha Christie, Sir Connan Doyle, etc, etc, etc. Connect what your students watch to what will interest them to learn. :)

Answer 4

Make learning fun > Hire videos to do with what they're learning and watch educational tv shows. Set rewards for learning. Try to make them feel good about what they have learnt. Praise them and encourage them but don't put too much pressure on them. Kids are kids and need to have fun to. Set a rewards system. Say if you do this, we can go to McDonalds and draw up a learning chart with them.

Answer 5

you have to make the kids do it even if it is boring. My job is boring but I do it every day. for kids school is their job,and learning that not everthing in life is fun is the MOST IMPORTANT lesson you can teach them

Answer 6

If you show an genuine interest..your kids will feed off of that and gain an intrest themselves. How can we expect them to love to learn if we dont love to learn?

Answer 7

make it more fun add games and stuff to it. have them read like a chapter and every chapter stop and ask questions and whoever gets it right give them a little prize or something that they really want.

Answer 8

have them read a book of thier fancy. put more fun into his/her leason.

Answer 9
