Is there any cause for worry, i hope she will be ok in her studies, once she grown little more. Should we consult a doctor and check her IQ? Would be grateful for your replies.

Answer 1

lighten up and let a child play!

If you're worried, be sure plenty of "educational" toys are available - but at 6 yrs a child needs to play not work.

Answer 2

You could try some of these ideas:
1. play school and have her "teach" her dolls and bears etc
2. Give her plenty of paper, pencils, crayons, markers, paint
3. Give her coloring books with the educational puzzles etc in them.
4. Watch a movie about a historical person with her and talk about it.
5. Do some simple science experiments with her
6.Remember school is not just what you learn from books but from travel, experiences with parents and siblings, the library, the museum.
7. 6 year olds need time to run and get rid of the energy they have maybe try outdoors for half hour first then homework.

Answer 3

When my children were small, I bought a game that had cubes with letters, numbers and in order to play they had to make words, add up the amount the word came to and then write it down on a piece of paper. Sort of like scrabble in dice form. I did this with them every day after they had there nap or what ever, while I had supper slowly cooking on the stove. Sorry can't remember the name of it, but it is a very education game and with in 6 months they became the top of there class because of it. I made learning fun for them. Give it a try. If you want them to learn, then teach them how to and do it with them.What ever you are doing at that moment is not more important than your children. You and your husband should be playing the game with them, you did not make the child all on your own. That definitely takes two people.

Answer 4

SQ3R is a formula that still applies to studying today.
S Survey the information... look it over, read titles, captions, etc.
Q Question.... ask questions as you survey... what can you expect to learn?
R Read... read carefully for main ideas and important supporting details.
R Recite... look away from the text and recite what those main ideas and supporting details are.
R Review... review all the material in your text AND any classroom notes.
If your daughter will study for 15-20 minutes and then take a break for 15-20 minutes, you'll find it easier to motivate her to study. I certainly wouldn't have her study for more than 30 minutes on a normal basis... at that age, more time than that seems like an eternity to them.

Answer 5

What 6 year old LIKES to study? What person in general likes to study? Remember you are the parent and you have to in a round about way force your kid to study, she is 6 she doesnt realize whats good for her and whats not. Not being rude but discipline is the key. Telling a 6 year old to do something is not far off from telling a fairly advanced chimpanzee to do something, not gonna listen to often (advanced chimpanzee's can have the brain capacity of a 4-5 year old).

Answer 6

Okay, your daughter is 6 years old. She is still a child and you cant expect her to want to do school work. It isnt fun for her and she is easily amused elsewhere. It isnt something to worry about and her IQ is not under- developed. She's 6. Encourage her to do her homework. Her writing will improve. Please encourage your daughter to study for thirty minutes or so every day. Try rewarding her with a treat or something fun once she has finnished studing. Remember, she's 6. dont expect too much.

Answer 7

The first year of school for a child should be mostly PLAYING and learning to interact with others. There is plenty of time for studying as she gets older. It is normal for her to want play time after being at school all day.

Answer 8

At six years old, it helps if you walk her through her homework or have her in the room with you where you can keep your eye on her. She is your child, not the other way around. If you say its time for homework and she doesnt want to do it, thats normal, i dont know any children that enjoy homework over playing and napping. Work on it with her and this way she will have little incentive to lose interest so quickly.

Answer 9

I have a 7 year old and a 5 year old.Try to keeep the study period shorter 15 minutes,30 minutes make it interesting.Reward her for doing that 15-30 minutes,she can even do that twice.Establish a routine,try not to deviate too much.All the best,try not to worry too much.Try not to make that study.writing period a chore,sit with her,pay compliments.

Answer 10

try to understand the feeling of your daughter and find that what she want and where she interesting if she like sports then join her in any good school where is study but in the musical way.
