How to encourage your my son to study??

Hi celestial! :D my son used to be lazy in school as well but what Idid is the reward system. He can not get what he wants unless he earns for it. :D

hi there..If all motivations have been done but still to no avail, try giving him some iron. BUT consult with your pediatrician on how much to give him because iron is not something you just give a kid. He must be weighed and the doctor will calculate his weight to get how much iron to give him..My son used to be like that. That's what the doctor gave him,BUT,not every medicine is the same for all kids..

Try to figure out a way to make it real to him. He doesn't have to get A's but putting in a passing effort is necessary in all of life. Maybe make him earn his meals by doing certain chores and grade them. If he doesn't pass he gets to make his own sandwich or something. If he does the chore fairly well and gets a C, then you will make him a meal but no dessert and no seconds on his favorite part. If he does it to A standards then he gets a great dessert. Or any plan that will "speak" to him and show him that passing in school relates to getting the necessities of life and doing well equates to getting more out of life. You might even inspire him by finding out what his favorite interests are, how they would relate to a career and how he might have to do some things he finds boring in that career in order to do the things he likes in the job. A teacher may love teaching, but may not like grading papers and filling out lesson plans. A mechanic may love to fix cars but may not like talking to the customer and giving an estimate. A salesperson may love talking to customers but hate filling out the contract/order forms, etc. We all have to do what we have to do.

My mom did a couple of things to motivate me. She'd sit down with me while I did it and answer any questions I had and she'd help me work through problem sets and ask me questions about what I was reading. Since she was supervising and asking things not just in the book, I had to do a bit more than copy stuff out of the answers section. She also took away privileges and gave them back each time I did well on something. If the grades started going down the pot, she'd take them away. Not being able to go over to a friend's house, watch a movie, or get xxxxx is a really good motivator. He may be having problems with his work, which is why he doesn't want to study. If you sit down with him, you'll be able to see where he's struggling and help him so that the process isn't so painful.

Hello, celestial! I am a high school student and I understand your child's situation. You shouldn't force someone to study if he doesn't want to. If you do that, even though he studies, he will not remember what he studied because he is forced to do it. And not all people who study always have perfect grades, sometimes, it's all in the stock knowledge, I'm really lazy in studying but I rarely get failing marks. You really shouldn't really force someone to do something against his or her own will, but to motivate your son, tell him the importance of education. Enumerate to him the most crucial consequences of not studying. That's my advice!
