how can I make my child focus in studying his lesson everytime i teach him?

Answer 1

When boys don't focus they have extra energy they need to burn off. If you are teaching something requiring sitting and being quiet- have him run or do something physical for about 10 minutes before. Don't make him exhausted but enough to were he is happy to sit and let his body rest while his mind does the work on the lesson. Also boys like to be competitive so get an egg timer and set a time for the task to be completed. Set up rewards for when he gets done early.
Good luck.
There are many books on how boys learn differently. Try reading a few for more ideas- they helped me when I started home schooling my son.

Answer 2

Are you home schooling? And just at the start of it? This is a common problem with home schooling -- the child thinks of his room or the front room, or the kitchen, as related to playing, or watching TV or eating. They don't associate it with school.
Just for starters, try setting up one place as a study center. If you have a separate room, that's great. But if not, you can set up a card table in the corner of a room and it is only to be used for school work and school projects.
When you work with your child, do so at that work station and gradually he or she will come to associate that with the place where they have to concentrate and pay attention.
But be sure you give enough breaks inbetween study sessions, so he or she can go somewhere else, go outside and play for a few minutes, or whatever, and then come back to start again, refreshed.
Hope this helps.

Answer 3

When I was a counsellor at a kids summer camp and they would all talk amongst themselves when an announcement was taking place I learnt that saying "you NEED to be quiet now" was a good way to get them to realise it was essential.

How old is your child? Maybe even asking him/her what would make it more fun??? Have a fun bit (drawing/colouring in) each session?

Also, would the suggestion that once he/she has focused on they lesson and shown that he/she understands you could say there will be a small treat??? Or is that bribery!?

Just an idea. Intrigued to know what others will say.

Answer 4

Maybe he needs a different program? Online Homeschooling is really helpful. It's more engaging that traditional homeschooling... online videos, web adventures, all sorts of cool stuff. Try one of these programs:

Imagine Academy, The Jubilee Academy, The Grace Academy, and The MorningStar Academy are all great programs. Imagine offers individual courses, Jubilee offers full online homeschooling curriculum, Grace offers full teacher-supported online homeschooling curriculum, and MorningStar is an online private school.

Answer 5

Its very important that you know ur child's learning style. Some are more visual there4 they nid lots of pictures and graphs...the kinestatic 1s need the freedom to move now and then, the auditory need to hear themselves.... The sooner u discover ur child's learning style the better..

Answer 6

FUN FUN FUN!!! incorperate lessons into things that inerest your child. MATH---I tought my son his multiples in 1st grade with m&m's. if he got them right he got to eat the m &m's if he got them wrong i got to eat them. SPELLING---Phonics teach sounds not letters. that is how my daughter got to read in speach theropy. DO NOT threaten but reward with in means. small things..like high 5's everytime he/she does something right make a big deal about it. also, take 10 min breaks every 30 min. just to get a break. my kids love praise the high 5 is cheap and incouraging.

Answer 7

It would help if you could give more information, as others have said. In general what you are showing him needs to be interesting to him, has to be at a challenge level that he thinks he can do but isn't too easy, needs to be short and needs to meet how he learns. If he does better with things he can move around and touch, bring that in.

Answer 8

There are too many answers to this question. First of all.. how old is the child? Are there any distractions? ie other siblings, the phone, friends, etc. What kind of learner is your child?? I could go on.. My kids are 16,15 and 12 and I have homeschooled them their entire lives.

Answer 9

Try to limit the distractions. Plus while teaching him MAKE IT FUN. Focus in on how your son learns....Hands on, reading, or auditory, Once you determine how he learns mold your teaching to a way that he can learn.

Answer 10

seeing that your question looks for under one lesson i could cut back myself on your question prestige. the value of humanity is falling aside too in the present day in as we communicate's international as a effect of which lots of violence international huge. What we ought to coach is to invite to admire social bindings and human values in particular to the coming near era. different useful issues could stick to immediately.
