My cousin is not into study

She might have ADHD (attention defecit/hyperactive (?) disorder). If she does, she probably should seek counseling, and she may need medication. If that's what she has, there is still hope! I think I may suffer from ADHD as well. It's difficult for me to concentrate on things for long periods of time. My mind wanders a lot, etc. Maybe you could get this checked out. It may seem like she's lazy or flighty, but this condition can & should be helped. :)

It seems she is a fun loving girl. I would suggest that since she loves computer games, why not introduce her to some games that will make her not only enjoy but also learn. There are many sites which can be useful to her. Or what if you just give her rewards whenever she read something. That will motivate her I think. If scolding her is not working, then try reverse psychology. I hope that will help.

Hi, Kingparker!Your cousin is not the only one who dislike studies. The reason is that they feel bored. So I think if you want to help, your task is to try to make the work interesting and easier to do. Remember, Interest is the best teacher.

Well, there are really children who are like that. Maybe she is still in that stage where play if foremost in the mind. But she will pass that stage when she matures a bit. So, maybe it will be futile having a tutor for her at this stage.

Self-motivation is one of the key ingredient to be successful in school. Your cousin must be inspired and motivated enough if she really wants to do school or else, she's just gonna juts treat school and her education as something as a phase. It's hard to inspire and motivate other people into something, especially school becuase they feel that it is boring and just a waste of time. Sometimes, they just attend school because of their social ties. I think you or any adult should talk to her seriously if she wanna pursue school or go into something that she is interested in after high school. I believe that you cannot force someone into something they don't really like. If she has any entrepreneur skills, maybe it's better to let her go that way, instead of attending college and be miserable for the next years.

hello, School is really important to children but if you find that your little cousin is not interested at all. Maybe you should restrict her in doing chatting, watching television and all her vices. You just need to try her if she will improved in this kind of restriction. You should give her some limitation and time of doing those thing. And of course you need to tell her about that and explain everything. Why you are doing that.

well, schooling has become a task for children nowadays. they see it as not part of growing up. that is the challenge for parents. schooling is not only about learning but also discipline. a child has to wake up early and follow certain schedules and rules to be able to be promoted to the next grade or level. without compliance to those requirement and meeting certain standards, a child will not be into the next. there are many distractions in the child's minds. it is understandable. i hope things change.

I think they should not stop trying to teach her since it is for her own good. ids are always like that when they are young, they still don't know the importance of school and studying. Just don't nag her too much and find some techniques to make studying fun for her. There are available gadgets for learning these days.

I think she is still not mature enough to understand importance of education. I just hope with time she will realize it and start working harder.
