What should I do if my child doesn’t take the initiative to learn?

Every child is very lively by nature, so generally they are not very proactive when studying. This is why many parents are particularly worried. Of course, if you understand some educational methods, it is not impossible to let children take the initiative to learn. The key lies in how to make children interested in learning. So the question is, what should parents do if their children don't take the initiative to learn?

1. All family members strive to develop the habit of active learning

If parents want their children to learn more proactively, they must first set an example by teaching them foreign languages, relevant professional knowledge, or other skills to make a living. When there is a learning atmosphere at home, children will be influenced unconsciously and their initiative in learning will be greatly enhanced.

2. Let children take the initiative to manage their own lives

The child's life can be left to him to handle himself, while parents observe and provide appropriate guidance. This helps to develop children's self-reliance and enable them to solve problems on their own. Parents' guidance can help children get rid of their bad habits, which is also very important for active learning.

3. Give children the initiative to learn

If you want your children to learn actively, you must first give them the initiative in learning. Parents can discuss calmly with their children and let their children make plans for their own studies. Parents only need to supervise. After a few days, everyone discusses the implementation of the plan and improvement plans together, which can make children feel that learning is their own business.

4. When children encounter setbacks and obstacles, help them overcome them

When a child encounters setbacks, his first reaction is “I’m stupid” or “I can’t do it”. This view must be changed. We need to let children understand that active learning first means actively overcoming difficulties and fully developing their potential. Parents cannot do everything for their children. Instead, they should pay attention to mobilizing their children's initiative in the process of solving problems and make them feel that they can do it on their own.

5. Plan active learning time for your child every day

Let the children arrange their own study time. Parents can record their children's study time and discuss with their children after a few days to see if there is any room for improvement in the current study method. Take out the records and let the children develop their own improvement plans and supervise their implementation. This allows children to take the initiative to the maximum extent possible.
