How do you help your child to study?

Answer 1

You could read with him.
You could help with flash cards.

For math, you could do example problems with him, and then give hints for problems that come up.

Make sure you don't let your child postpone studying. Looking at my life now, I wish that I had been forced into the habit of studying early and often, and until the task was complete. Discipline gets much harder to learn with age, and I'm having a lot of trouble with it now in college.

Answer 2

The best thing to do is to break the studying into pieces, and do a little bit every day. You start with small chunks, and build onto that.

Suppose you are studying vocabulary. Find out the date of the test, and break down the words into sections, studying a few words the first night, reviewing and studying a few more the second night, etc. By focusing on just a few, it gives your child a chance to understand.

It also helps to find what method or mode your child learns best with. Some do well visually, some auditorially, some by using their hands. Some do well intergrating all of these senses. When you can figure that out, make up activities that coorespond to that style of learning.

Answer 3

i go with the traditional way.
always know the content before even trying to help.
sit with your child in a mildly comfortable place without distractions. ensure the temperature and lighting is good, and the resources are adequate.
then teach him/her, and make sure s/he understands by asking him/her to repeat the explanation.
if its maths or science, get him/her to apply the knowledge you taught to another problem.
