Prepare children for the new school year / Motivate them to study

Family group – Zohreh Saeedi: Schools have been closed for two years due to the outbreak of coronation in the country, and children attend classes online and take exams at the end of the year. During this time, many families are satisfied with this situation and many others They also complained that they could not afford the children’s homework, some had more difficult access to the Internet and cyberspace, and some had good conditions for use in city centers. In the first report, we will discuss the basics of order in sleep and wakefulness, nutrition and physical fitness of children, which you can read here.

In this report, we are trying to find ways to motivate children to study. It is true that children in these two years continued their education online, but according to statistics, a percentage of children did not attend school due to lack of attendance, and They also took part in online classes, so their motivation to study may have weakened.

In general, there are strategies that families can address for school and coronation and motivating children to study.

1. Develop the motivation to study like a game in them

Studying, studying and learning of children and adolescents is an important issue that directly affects their future. They may not realize the importance of this issue at this age, but parents’ awareness of this issue has become one of their major concerns. All parents want their children to study, but sometimes they face resistance from their children.

Parents are constantly demanding that their children excel in their education. Children do not want to study, they are also not aware of the importance of studying. As a parent, you may talk about the importance of studying to succeed in work and life. But children do not realize this and are fascinated by their games and entertainment.

When your child greedily plays a computer game to get through a certain stage, he is self-motivated and an inner force drives him to success. But he lacks the inner strength to study, so this is where parents need to step in.

We want the motivation to learn, like computer games, to come from within the child. If you find that your child is seriously and persistently practicing football or playing computer games, it is because he or she is feeling well and that matters to him or her. Often, children are motivated, but not in the way you think they should be. So the solution is to help them by identifying their interests, encouraging and rewarding them appropriately.

2. Ask about what he is learning, not his grades

Instead of punishing your child for his low grades, ask him what he learned in school and he will teach you. If he makes a mistake, correct him. When he teaches you in his own language, he repeats his lessons for himself and therefore helps him to learn better.

2. Do not compare your child with others

Respect your student’s individual differences, never compare them to each other. You should know that there are different intelligences in the world and your child may be talented in a field that other children are not. You should discover his talent and not seek to compare him with others.

3. Reward them for their success

Of course, the reward should not be for ransom. But consider rewards for student success. Do not wait for academic failure to happen and then praise their success.

4. Talk to children about learning problems and its roots

It should not be the case that you ignore their academic problems or do not pass them on to them. It is better to talk to them about academic problems and find the root causes according to their age.

5. Do not be too strict and disciplined

It is better to be sensitive about your student’s emotional and academic issues and control him / her, but do not be too strict, but praise his / her efforts along with learning, and not be strict and disciplined for grades and other things, and make appropriate judgments. Make it so that it causes mental conflict or reduces his interest in learning.

If children are estranged from their friends during this time, encourage them to make friends twice, and this love at school helps motivate them.

6. Inspire your child

It is better to inspire children yourself, be a reader yourself so that children tend to this direction, do not forget that if you put pressure on your child, he will only resist your wishes. Think of someone who is motivating in your life and be like them.

Consider two doors. One is the door that parents go to to motivate their child to do the right thing in life, such as waking up in the morning, going to school, doing his or her homework, and being successful. Two for parents who want to have a child who does good things, that is, to influence him so that he shows interest in various issues and not just do the right thing. In number one, he may be pressured, punished and begged, and rewarded and rewarded to satisfy the child, but in number two, he has different dialogues. Like instead of “Have you done your homework?” It is better to say: “Why did you do your homework today but not yesterday? I realized that you did not do the geometry homework yesterday, but you did the history homework today. “What is the difference between geometry and history?” Be a researcher who explores and helps the child discover his or her motivations.

7. You are innocent

Finally, if, despite all this, your child is still unmotivated, it is not your fault, it is better to stay away from him so that he can choose. Watching them from a distance allows us to discover their personality and to better understand themselves. As a parent, you have a responsibility to help your child understand his or her interests, to find out who he or she is, and to strive to achieve his or her goals, so no parent should do anything for their children and think for themselves. Take a step in this direction themselves.
