New Delhi: In today's times, it has become more challenging than ever to keep children focused on their studies. Technology, gadgets, noise, and social media have left no stone unturned in distracting them.
In such a situation, it is the responsibility of parents to create an environment that keeps children interested in studies. Just scolding or interrupting them won't help; instead, patience and creativity are required. Here are some effective measures that will help children concentrate and focus on their studies. Let's explore them:
Don't make the study area just a corner.
Children's study area shouldn't be limited to just a table and chair. Decorate it with some creativity and colors to make it inspiring.
Include helpful learning aids
Place educational charts, maps, motivational quotes, timetables, etc. in the study space to help them stay focused on studying.
Set small goals and praise them for completing them.
To make studying easier for children, set small goals and praise them for completing them. This boosts their self-confidence.
Don't forget to provide breaks
Continuous study can tire children's minds. A 5-10 minute break after every 30-40 minutes of study refreshes them.
Delete clutter with a story, not a rule.
If children scatter things around, instead of scolding them, teach them why it's important to put everything in its place through a story or game.
Ensure emotional support
If a child is weak in a subject or is afraid of studying, provide emotional support and understanding. This will boost their self-confidence.
Talk openly
Talk to your children daily about their studies, school, or friends. This will encourage them to share their thoughts and help them feel more at ease.
Consider lighting and ventilation
The study area should be well-ventilated and well-lit to relax the eyes and mind and promote focus.
Include sports and yoga
Incorporate some physical activity or yoga into your children's routine to keep their mind active and stress-free.
Remove distractions
Keep away mobile phones, TVs, video games, or other distractions while studying so that your focus remains on your studies.
By adopting these measures, you can provide your children with an environment that will motivate them to study and make them self-reliant.
