how can i make my 6 year old son be serious in his studies?

Answer 1

He is six. The extent of his studies are the alphabet and counting to 100. Get a grip Einstein!

Answer 2

I've been here with my kids a couple times. To an average 6 year old study is not serious. But he can learn that it is important. Clowning around and zoning out during studying is often a sign that they do not really understand what is being asked of them. Rather than feel stupid, kids will often cry, or be silly, or need to use the bathroom repeatedly. ALSO on the other end of the spectrum if they are doing the same task over and over and doing correctly they will get to a point when they do not want to do it again.
Does your son get homework? I hate that little kids are getting homework but nowadays they get much to much. Anyway, If he has to do homework and take it seriously, perhaps you have some sort of homework that you could do at the same time.

Answer 3

I just made it very clear what is and what is not acceptable behavior. I don't know how your school system does grades but here they do + check mark and -, a -is not an acceptable grade. You need to set the standard on what you will accept and what you won't and you need to punish accordingly, if they are having a bit of a struggle set aside some extra time at night to work on it.
My daughter's Principal says to put their age into minutes so they don't loose interest, about 6 min, but you could probably go 10. And just because it's vacation that doesn't mean they don't have to work on their studies, they still need to do something so they don't loose what they've learned. I've always done this with my daughter (going into 4th grade) and she's an A student, my son is 6 as well and he also does very good in school, because I do not accept bad behavior and bad grades.

Answer 4

He's six; wait another seven or eight years before worrying about ensuring if he is serious about his studies.

Children of this age learn through play so buy some fun books and games for him to enjoy but also leave him be. Let him enjoy his childhood, play with friends and explore the world around him-- that is also learning too.

Answer 5

Reward him for good behavior and for good grades. Things like, I'll let you go outside to play if you get a B or higher on this quiz. But, like someone said, a 6 year old doesn't really work THAt hard usually.

Answer 6

Don't threaten or bribe. Just set aside a certain time for studying and make sure he understands that that time is for homework. Any time that he is fooling around during homework time adds time on. He'll adapt to the daily schedule and will start to do homework as a routine. Make sure you're there to supervise and that you check and help him as he goes along.

Answer 7

Work with him at home. Buy flash cards and some workbooks that are his age or grade level. Read books together, u read one page have him read another. My son liked the reading books that had the small pictures of people or things included in the sentences.

Answer 8

By setting aside time as you do for television. It is SO important for you as parents to make sure than you instill a good study habit in your children. Studying is a learned behavior, it isn't just something you do.

Answer 9

Make it fun for him... not a chore.

Instead of saying "do your homework" tell him it's time to sit down and go over his work... that way he'll be getting positive attention from you (instead of the command "do your homework")

Also, provide rewards not consequences:

Reward - after you finsh your homework, we'll go out and ride bikes.

Consequence - if you don't finish your homework, you can't play outside.



Rewards are something to look forward to... again, it's all about the positive reinforcement.

Answer 10

The means may not justify the end. Go woth the flow. Don't get too hung up with the goal. Examine and enjoy the process. Uncommon problem needs uncommon answers.
