Helping A Child Do Better In School

Hi 7th, Continue inspiring your children to make good in school. with good parenting and support you will be bringing out the best in them. you are on the right track friend. good luck and congratulations once again.

My grandson is in the first grade and so he has afew years to go. He gets tutored twice a week after school by a program the school provides. This helps him with his reading although he is read to and reads at home. I have always prepared my kids for school as well. By teaching them their alphabets, how to write the alphabet and their names they had a pretty good beginning.

I just made them study and tried to help with questions on tests to get them to amswer the questions right I know of no other thing to do but that and worked out most of the time COngrats on Trisha passing on to high school

I think having alot of patience when helping your child study is the most important thing. My dad had none when he was helping me & it never turned out well.

My eldest just finished grade one and i can say that his just average. But i think it's really too early to tell. Regardless, i would still be here guiding him all the way. I have 3 kids in a row so i'm wondering now how i could afford college if the time comes . But as the say, i'll cross the bridge when i get there.

I believe that the best way is to make the child feel that she/ he is loved and supported by the family (parents including siblings). We should never ever compare one of our children to another because each of them have different identity, skills, talents, interests and ways of learning. Instead of forcing to the child what we think will be good for her/ him we should help bring out and discover the child's potentials. We are just parents and teachers. We give them what they will need to grow and learn. We are hjust here to guide them in the right direction but definitely we are not the one who should decide for their life whether they should be a Doctor, lawyer, etc. This is one thing I have learned with my parents.

neildc encourage all children to r ead and read and read. this is a must to do well in school as most learning is done from'books and the better the reading ability and love of reading,the better the 'child will do.also encourage u sing the net for studies and encourage them whenever they make really good grades too.Also have a strict schedule for children as to when to do their homework and be sure it is done before televison or online games, homework should always come first.then they can play, but always with the idea they must get their sleep too. be there to help if they need it but do not ever do'their home work for them, that will not in any waY be helpful for them at all.

Congratulations Trisha, well done! Aside from making learning as interesting and fun as possible, incentives are a good idea. Having said that, I think that the main part of learning is that the child is doing his or her best and at the end of the day that is all we can ask of our children. My daughter is eight and in third grade. So far I have no concerns about her progress but she does have a long way to go! I have explained to her that all I expect from her is that she work hard and is not lazy about her school work, the results are not as important. I would certainly get her help if she was having problems with her core subjects but not all people are highly intellectual and great at academics; that is something that a lot of parents are not willing to accept. Just because a child does not have really high grades, it doesn’t make him or her any less intelligent or less bound to be successful in life.

The key is to make learning fun. So many people think (falsely) that learning only takes place in a classroom. If that were the case we would enter school not knowing how to walk or talk, and the many other things we learn under our parents care. Learning disabilities are not an excuse. It is the time for parents to spend extra time with a child that is challenged. If the problem is something like dyslexia, the parents should run not walk to an eye doctor that is trained in "vision therapy." Many times dyslexia can disappear with therapy by a trained vision therapist. Many schools in the United States will not point this out because then they would have to pay for the therapy and instead knowingly allow the child to suffer. A parent always needs to be encouraging and hold the bar a bit higher than the child thinks they are capable of achieving. Reading books to a child that is just a bit above their grade level that they are interest in is a great way to spend time building a good relationship with the child and stretches them academically without them even realizing it. A child should be shown how to find answers to their questions outside of the classroom by using reference materials that are easily available at the library or are a part of the home library. Every human being should be taught how to find answers instead of just thinking that learning is something that is dished up by a school, then memorized by the child, and spit back on a test. Schools have their place, but an involved parent is the key to success. I think it is too bad that parents do not have these skills to pass on to their children because they have not been taught them.

Congratulations for all the blessings! As to your question, I always tell the parents to go to the basics. First, sleep is important. A child must be in bed by 7:30. Eight hours of sleep is mandatory for a growing child. Second, the brain works fast in the morning. If you can wake up by 3:30 in the morning, that is the time the child can grasp all the learning at full speed. Third, needless to say that discipline must be enforced. Fourth, find out your child's intelligence. There are 9 intelligences - mathematical, linguistic, psychomotor, spatial, natural, etc. If your child is good in natural or the common sense, gear the child towards cooking or homemaking. If the child is artistic, give her water colours. If the child is musical, allow her to sing. And lastly, make her eat nutritious food and play games like volleyball. Advise me when your Trisha has bloomed. She will!

Congratulations on the achievements your family reached. I'm not a parent yet but I'm very excited to be one. I think I can help my future children do better in school by being a model to them and let them see that learning is fun and is a good thing. Children wants to play so I'll try to incorporate learning into every family activity and game. It would be like a rewards system, the better they do the better their rewards

I already informed that how to make the child to do better in studies in some other myLot discussion. Get her one tape recorder battery operated.Record all the question and answer in the tap recorder subject wise.For recording get guidance if you do not know how to record. Recoding can be done by her while studying or any one can help her in recording.Whenever she is watching TV, or take rest or sleep, keep the tap recorder on ,in low volume near to her.In this way her brain will keep recording all the information in her mind.She will certainly do far better in Education. Mathematics is the very lovely and very simple subject.Record all the formula in the tap recorder.Also she should be through with Multiplication, Division, Addition and subtraction with the technique of doing it fast Example 55*55(* denotes multiplication)Unit place 5*5 = 25 then Tenth place 5*5 should be taken as (5+1)*5=6*5=30. So, the answer is 3025.Similarly she can do for all the multiplication of 15*15,25*25,35*35.45*45 ...... .There are many more short method by which the Mathematics can be very interesting. She should not feel the burden, she should feel happy to learn and study.Keep the environment to encourage her studies.Happy myLotting.

You have to make a child interested in learning, and encourage them. If you push too hard you are going to drive them away from wanting to learn. Take their accomplishments seriously and be encouraging, as much as possible. That's the best thing you can do for them.

give some kind of improve child brain toys or something to your son to play. he will start learning more than other people son.. it will help your son get smart. Or you can teach things that teacher doesn't teach in the class to your son. It will make your son different from his friends in the class...
