What should I do if my child doesn’t like to study?

What should I do if my child doesn’t like to study? This problem has always troubled parents, because if this situation is not corrected in time, it can easily lead children to develop bad habits of not studying, thus affecting their future studies. In fact, there are three solutions to children’s reluctance to study. The first is to let children experience the joy of success.

1. Let children experience the joy of success. Children care a lot about other people's evaluation of them, and they understand themselves based on other people's evaluation. If someone says he is stupid, he will think he is stupid. A child who always fails cannot experience the joy of success and will not work hard. For a child who has never completed homework, it is best for parents to let him do a few easy exercises first so that he can complete them easily, and then adjust the difficulty of the homework. If a child does not study well, do not attribute the failure to the child's stupidity. Parents can look for reasons from aspects such as learning attitude (whether he is serious) and willpower. Never say that he is stupid and let him give up on himself.

2. Encourage your child to be self-motivated. If a child can motivate and encourage himself regularly, he may be able to avoid academic failure. The first thing to do is to help children set self-motivational goals. Secondly, children should learn to give themselves self-suggestions and often say encouraging words to themselves, such as "I will definitely succeed." The second thing is to let children get rid of negative emotions through action. If a child is afraid of failing in learning, it is important to tell him or her what actions to take to eliminate this emotion.

3. Guide children in learning methods. When tutoring your child, do not study for the child, as this will develop a dependent mentality and a habit of retreating when faced with problems. We should teach children how to acquire knowledge, such as how to look up reference books and how to obtain the information they want. If the child is unable to select important content during the learning process, parents can consciously give the child two long articles every week and ask him to abbreviate the long articles into short articles. The abbreviation process not only reflects the child’s understanding of knowledge, but also reflects the child’s creativity.

In short, in order to change children from studying hard and being tired of studying to enjoying and being happy to study, parents need to guide them patiently.
