A Place to Study

Each of us humans have different capability and different graphing capacity. Some children can do two things at the same time, but not studies. Doing their studies with other activities is very rare and some of them do so. I cannot do my studies by putting concentration on other things. So i used to put my full efforts to study matters during my study hours. If your child is doing good at his studies then it doesn't matter. If not you must correct him. Every parent should give opportunity to their children to do their studies well. You should make sure that you are doing good for it and you had food a great job as a good parent.

I can't study when sit in front of TV. I don't think your kids can focus on study when take a seat in front of TV. Better you let them do study first and then watch TV later. My dad used to do like that. He didn't allow to turn TV on if we hadn't completed our study yet

It's quite okay for your kids to study in front of ther television providing the show is a documentary on the subject they are studying...otherwise, they are not properly focused on their studies. Sorry Mum, you need to take charge and be the boss here.

When I was in highschool, I used to study while listening to my favorite radio program. I was the second best in my class and had no interest whatsoever in becoming the one with best grades. Success is not only measured in grades and probably children are able to do a couple of things at the same time. Now, if grades are terrible, I`d cut TV xompletly until they change that (all depending on their learning abilities).

Your intentions are right. Definitively the concentration of your kids will be diverted when they watch TV.I am studying medicine and I went through how our brain works when it comes to memory and stuff.One of the most important thing in learning is that our full concentration is required to make a powerful memory of what we learn.For example,if we study a paragraph with 100 percent concentration and before the memory circuit completes(that is reading the paragraph twice or similar things),if we divert ourselves in other activities,this memory circuit is stopped and we have to learn from first to make the memory.Even the 50% we made from the first attempt will go to zero and thus increasing the time to make a memory.Of all the distractions,watching tv or some other visual stimuli diverts the brain more because brain responds more to visual perceptions.This finding they have applied to studying things in the form of videos or similar things.

Hi friend, good to know that you provide a great facility to your kids for their studies, but sorry to hear that they are not using it and interested in watching TV while studying it is really hard to concentrate in lessons, if they watched the TV while reading their lessons. I agree with you, if they read their lesson in a calm place without any diversions, surely they will score a good mark.

I don't know if this would work these days, but when I was a kid, we were not allowed to study in front of the TV, but had to go to our rooms. I did try is a few times, but my mother or father sent me to my room to study, so there was no real choice. It was a house rule in our family, and one that was never allowed to be broken. I also had to do piano practice every day, and that rule was upheld just as strongly. I can understand my parents doing this, because there was no point in them paying lots of money for piano lessons, if I wasn't going learn how to play for lack of practice. _Derek

Lucky for your kids to watch tv and study at the same time but it will never work for me.You can check their grades if their study method or habit works for them. I know few kids can do that.

I too never use the room that we have for doing paper work. It is the dining table that is always cluttered with papers and stuff. The room where paper work is supposed to be done is upstairs where one kind of feels lonely.

I've been studying for several years in front of the televisions m, listening music, I find my self more comfortable and keeping my attention on my things. On the other hand, sometimes I needto concentrate my self without any kind of sound or distraction, that would be depending if I'm studying for a class or a have the pressure from an exam no my back. I know the best is to find this place where you really see that is available to concentrate. Have a nice day!

I suppose this may happened to many friends here when we are young.Certainly i love to find some place that really suits me to study but at the same time,i love to watch tv,so since now i think that it is better to find them a quiet place to study.While,just seperate and it may better focus children.

I study while there some loud music playing in the background. Loud music meaning that the volume is high, but the music that I play while studying is usually mellow, instrumental, or orchestra. When I was still in college, people around me would really get mad at me because they can't study with the music that i'm playing, so what I do is listen with via earphones. I have also a habit when I can't listen to music, I study and read in a moderate volume that is very irritating to those who like to study at zero noise. Everybody has their own,way of studying, you just need to find the right one that suits them.

I think you should set rules and limitations between watching TV and doing their study, so that they can be more focus. Setting up a study place on their room was a good idea but I think much better if they have study area far from their room or television so that they can be more concentrate on studying. You intention was right but need more to make it work. Most of the children nowadays loves to watch TV while studying which is not right because they more focus on watching than studying. Rules and limitations are good ideas for me to make your children to study well that they can only watch TV after finishing their homework and after reading their studies in this way you can help your children to study well at the same they will learned how to follow rules.

TV program is always big problem,cartoon normaly are arranged after children finish school,for finish honework and do not lose cartoon,they have to choose to study in the front of the TV

First of all see his progress report, if it is going to be better. It has no matter, which place he is using for study else, you have some worry about your child.

Concentration is the vital part of the Study anything. In my opinion a child can't do two things simultaneously . Don't upset soon he will get all this things by his experience.

I also had the habit of studying while watching television. But this habit didn't affect my study anyway. I always scored good marks in exam. Even I could concentrate more on studies while watching television. Each and everyone has different capabilities. You need not worry about your children. Leave them in their own way. But just tell them that they can watch television anytime and also study while watching. Also tell them that they should score high marks in exams also. They will surely study well and score high marks. Don't compell them to study always. Give them time to play also. Even you can also play with them. Always be a friend to your children.

Make their room and furniture more interesting. Aside from the usual books and supplies, try to funk it up. I can't say something specific since I really don't know what your kids would like. I would put a small aquarium inside their room, having turtles that sure will distract them from time to time, but I would rather want them to be distracted with curiosity rather than tv crap :).

please stop children to watch tv, at same time,parents should leave television to study with children together.when they get good study-habi, you may gradually decrease the times of studing with them.
