There are many things you can do to help your child learn more effectively. First, make sure they are getting enough rest and proper nutrition. Make sure they have plenty of time for homework and studying and create a consistent study plan that includes break times. Encourage the development of good organizational habits by setting up a workspace that is orderly and free from distractions such as TV, radio, etc.

Show an interest in your child’s education by asking them questions about their studies or inviting them to teach you something they’ve recently learned. Above all, show love and patience — reminding your child that everyone learns at different rates so there is no need to feel ashamed if it is taking them more time or effort than peers.

If additional support is needed, you may want to contact their teacher directly (preferably by email) explaining the challenges you see with examples where possible. With transparency from both parties (student and parent) effective solutions can usually be created together.

Helping your child learn more effectively starts with providing a supportive environment that encourages exploration and learning. Start by providing plenty of engaging activities such as puzzles, reading materials, and creative activities that promote critical thinking. Encourage them to ask questions and provide answers in their own words, not just regurgitate information provided in lectures or books. Provide incentives for accomplishments but don’t overwhelm them with too many disparate tasks at once; allow breaks between study sessions; incorporate active games into studies whenever possible; ensure the environment is free from distractions such as TV or noise; emphasize effort and process over results when providing feedback on learning; create personalized plans to meet goals. In addition, teaching your child effective strategies such as outlining key concepts, using flash cards to memorize facts, studying with a group of friends or taking regular tests can also help him become a better learner. Most importantly: show interest in what they are learning – this will foster curiosity which is essential for effective learning!
