Good Learning (2)

February 22, 2009

Consult your child when setting a study time. There are children who can perform better after resting a bit right after school while there are others who have to keep the momentum going. Also, set a routine not only for study but also for meals and bedtime as well. It may seem crazy and a bit old-fashioned, but children thrive on routine.

2. Give him his study space.

“Good lighting, an ergonomically-correct table and chair, and good ventilation,” are the basics to consider when setting up a study area. It doesn’t have to be an entire room. This study space can occupy just one corner of your house. It will work as long as your child knows that this is his place to study. To give him a sense of ownership, let him pick his desk and allow him to decorate the area himself to make it more personal. Keep his school supplies and study materials in the area, too, for easy access.

3. Keep track of exam dates and homework.

Aside from showing your child that you’re involved in his education, doing this will help you see whether or not your child is ready for the next school day or for the coming exams. And if he isn’t, you can help him prepare for it.
