Top ways to develop Love of Learning in your Child

Most good students aren’t born good learners. Good learning habit could be developed by extending the learning outside the walls of the classroom. You can take a number of proactive steps to help your children develop better study habits and skills. Discipline is important but your children do their best work if they are motivated by the joy of learning. Children learn very quickly when they experience things in their real life so encourage practical learning. Here is the secret formula to help your child to have interest in learning :

  1. Make it fun for kids: Internet is a hub of knowledge. Instead of making your child study by just reading and learning, indulge him in some animations, songs and stories. Learning through songs and rhythm makes the learning best for them.
  2. Start early: As soon as your child starts any type of schooling, start showing them how to balance their time. Teach them that school is a priority over things like games and TV, and get them into the habit of finishing their school work before anything else.
  3. Teach them importance of studies: Show them examples, bring your children to a person who is study-conscious, and have your children ask why he or she studies so much. Tell them about the days of your childhood at school and explain how challenging and fun it was to study.
  4. Have Patience: Kids take more time to understand the things in comparison to adults.  So, don’t get into the anxious mode and complain if your child is unable to do the work quickly. Because in anxiety we forget that priority is not homework; it is developing love of learning for kids.
  5. Appreciate your child: Whenever your child completes any benchmark, praise them; Praise is motivation and rewards will become habit and after sometime your child will be more focussed on reward rather than on homework.

Children always tend to get excited if certain fun element and play is involved in any learning process. With this particular method, the child can give wings to their imagination ability. It enables the child to improve various skills like motor, creative, imaginative, aesthetic, cognitive, linguistic etc.
