Parents all over the world feel the need to keep the school work at home, by being the teachers themselves. Even though parents don’t have the qualifications to be a teacher, they try their best to keep their kids learning. But are they doing enough? If you’re a parent or a guardian that’s currently in a similar situation and want to know how to help kids study at home, keep reading this article.
So let’s hop right into it!
1. Time Management
In school, it’s normal that your kid might have a learning time schedule. Depending on the grade that they’re in, school schedules tend to become longer and longer as your kid gets older. Since you’re at the house, it’s important to know how to manage time for kids. Maybe you don’t have to wake up your kid at 8 am every day, but maybe waking them up at 10 am and make them get dressed is a good way to start. Kids learn better when they feel like they’re not in their house. This can be turned around by making them dress, even put some perfume, and sit in the living room or kitchen to do their homework. It’s always best to do this in the morning because they’re more likely to concentrate on what they are doing. Whatever you do, don’t let them sleep until 1 pm. The more your kids sleep, the lazier they’ll get.
2. Virtual learning
Kids nowadays are all about phones, tablets, tv, and games. All they want to do is to watch videos on YouTube every day and play online games. So why not take advantage of that? In case you didn’t know, the internet has an educational side to it. It is filled with mental activities that will get your child interested, even in the most boring subject. From online courses to educational videos and brain games, you’ll be able to find anything. Kids are more likely to learn something if they feel engaged in the activity. Let’s say your kid is in first grade, and he’s probably learning the alphabet. How do you think he’ll learn it better? By reading it from a piece of paper? Or by watching a cool, animated video with a catching song about the alphabet? The same goes for any subject and grade!
