Lazy Kids: 7 Reasons to Child’s Laziness to Study

Posted in Labels: Child's laziness to study, Education, Lazy Kids, Mind, Teaching


Lazy child to study his lessons.

Is there any solution to child’s laziness to study? How to help him improve his study habits? Does your child show no interest at all to hold his book, read and study?

Unfortunately, there’s no any cure to improve a child’s laziness to study. The only possible remedy is learning to discipline the child so that he will start doing things he doesn’t enjoy. It is good to provide right discipline through consequences. Give him some sort of negative consequences for all his laziness. It could be depriving the child of watching TV, playing video games, or using the computer. You may use this if grades become very low as a result of his laziness to study.

How does child’s laziness to study happen? What are their valid reasons in showing no interest to study?

1. Often, a lazy student is not interested to do homework. There is no desire to learn and re-learn the lessons already presented. The effective teaching approach requires repetitive procedures to reinforce memory retention. For an average child or student, repeating materials over and over again is dumb and boring. As a result, the child just tunes out this method until another new material comes along.

2. For the parents, try to investigate whether the student is really bored. It could be that he really doesn’t understand what’s going on in the first place. Offer help to read his book and try to discover if materials are just the repetition of the former material.

3. Figure out the reason why your child’s laziness to study is happening. There must be a reason behind his laziness. You may start probing by asking these questions:

1.Is understanding the material hard for him?

2.Doesn’t he know the reason why old material needs reviewing?

3.Why this educational system not working effectively for him?

4. Consider also his environment. Are there lots of distractions around? Where is the television or computer? What is he doing while studying? Is his attention divided into many disturbances while doing his homework? A child’s laziness to study happens when he lacks concentration.

5. If your child loves to play games, he might be interested to study when there’s visual stimulation. RPGs are attractive illustrations that involve rich test contents as well as complicated point system. A textbook, on the other hand, is a tedious old style approach of reading, writing and learning. To a modern child of today, this old system may look dumb and will not catch his interest.

6. The child’s laziness to study may have an existing issue on his learning. Dyslexia is one of the usual problems among young children and students. This disability shows that the words being read don’t really make sense. The child does not see nor comprehend the words the way other children do. Unfortunately, words do not line up properly for them. You see words and understand them, but for them they don’t. Check it out with their school. As much as possible get some evaluations for your child if this issue of child’s laziness to study is connected with Dyslexia.

7. And finally, search about the things your child is passionate about. If you suspect your child is extremely visual in his activities, then offer materials that have images, drawings, or illustrations. If he’s lazy to read his textbooks, the material for him is mind-numbing without those attractive images.

Bear in mind that even the brain of Einstein did not work exactly the way other kids did. Even Einstein got diagnosed with impaired learning during his childhood stages. Help your kid by making necessary actions based on our tips. Keep this in mind: if the child gets interested in his schoolwork, he will always be glad to overcome the child’s laziness to study.

Morning Blues: How to Overcome Difficulty in Walking Up (For School)

Posted in Labels: difficulty in waking up, Morning blues, Mother daughter morning blues, Teaching

Morning blues: Overcoming difficulty in waking up.

It is very hard to get my 7-year-old daughter up early in time morning for her school. Each morning I enter into her room, open the windows for her and tell, “it’s time to get up. Good morning, Stephany,” and then remove her blanket. She would ignore my words, push me away, groan, and return to sleep. Every day of the morning starts this way and she cries if she gets forced to get up. It takes me a lot of pressures and annoyance even before I can send her to school. Please help.

Sometimes parents don’t realize how difficult it is for children and everybody to end sleep that quickly. It’s very comfortable bending under those bed covers especially in the morning. Your approach of early-morning wake up seems not that effective.

What is suggested is this: One evening, let your daughter see a wrapped box package prepared for her before going to bed. You may label the card, “For a responsible girl who now becomes a person in charge of herself.” Just inside the box is her alarm clock. It’s better if you can provide her a clock radio. This clock orders her to gradually open her eyes and consciousness making her fully awake because of the sound.

Music will serve as her way of disturbing her sleep, far better that the morning voice of a mother. Make her understand that the moment her alarm clock stops, it’s time for her to leave her bed and prepare for school. Make her a responsible daughter; let her feel how proud she is for being able to handle such vital responsibility.

Implications made are sometimes intended to motivate the decision of day-to-day habits that require a change by possibly applying solutions. First is to identify the root cause for sleep interruption and to find appropriate solution is so important. If there is a situation when parents get controlled by kids, there’s a need to set up for firm and yet loving limitations for the children.

It is highly recommended that children should understand to work hand in hand with their parents for a positive resolution. Children should feel responsible enough for some needs that they themselves must take.

A Spoiled Child: 10 Signs That Your Child is Spoiled

Posted in Labels: Children, Children Discipline, Family Issues, signs your child is spoiled, spoiled child, Teaching


Signs your child is spoiled.

What are the signs to know that your child is spoiled? Spoil me rotten! Many parents will say that they don’t spoil their child with unending amounts of hugging, rocking, holding, or cooing. Over-indulgence can make a child spoiled especially when she has passed already her toddler years. It is so simple to get the spoiled child on the playground and yet it’s much difficult to use a critical eye for us the parents.

Here are the top 10 signs of a spoiled child:

1. Often, she’s throwing tantrums. Whether at home or in public, a spoiled child frequently throws many tantrums, and would not care about the people watching around her.

2. She always feels dissatisfied. Generally, a spoiled child cannot express complete satisfaction with what she has. If she sees a toy or something, she will still want to get it.

3. A spoiled child is lazy to help and work. Child normally doesn’t like to help in cleaning up or doing household chores. But the moment a child has passed her toddler stage, she must be willing to help in the family like doing small tasks, and organizing or cleaning her own stuff.

4. She always wants to control her parents and other adults. A spoiled child oftentimes will not delineate between her parents and peers. She will always expect both of them to listen to her.

5. Most of the times a spoiled child will make you feel angry and embarrassed in public. There is always a mistake here and there. If in case a child expressly embarrasses her mother or father in public just to look for attention, you better go to an isolated place.

6. She doesn’t like to share. Small toddlers find it hard to master the art of sharing and giving. However, if she reaches her 4^th age, she must already be willing to share her stuff like toys and food, with other members of the family.

7. A spoiled child wants you to beg her. A person in authority like the parents or caretaker should be followed by a child when giving a request to her. There is no need for you to beg her to make the task done.

8. She ignores you most of the time. A child does not want hearing a word like “no” but she’s not supposed to pay no attention to you when you’re talking to her. She must learn to listen and do what you say.

9. She cannot play by herself; she doesn’t want to play alone. At the age of 4, a child must then be able to play and be willing to play on her own. It demonstrates that she’s still in need of attention if she calls her parents and playmates to play with her.

10. A spoiled child wants bribing. Parents are not supposed to bribe their children in doing their assignments or when performing some tasks. Avoid bribing with toys, money, or treats just to get her finish what she’s doing.

Probably, the simplest thing parents can do to is to have a spoiled child, and it is more difficult if we learn to keep the child punished. So put some limits to yourself to make things a lot easier. Limitations will set boundaries to your kid’s every need and demand. Allow yourself as parents to agree some limits with your children, and you’ll be amazed how these 10 signs that your child is spoiled will ultimately be over.

How to Raise Good Kids: Be Realistic, Kids Mess Up

Posted in Labels: Children, how to raise good kids, Parenting, raise good kids, Teaching

Kids are not perfect. How to raise good kids is not expecting perfection. They mess up most of the time. They are kids, especially when it comes to grades. Good grades are not worth crying over. Good grades are not worth sacrificing social balance over. Ask your kids to do their best then teach them to be satisfied with their results.

LIST ON HOW TO RAISE GOOD KIDS:

1. If you have little bitty kids, sit on the floor a lot. Communicate at their level.

2. Teach them about money. How to earn it, save it, invest it, spend it, and give it away.

3. Raise good kids by listening to them. Ask more, tell less.

4. Hug more—this is what they need—then nag less.

5. Show your kids good affection even after they think they are too big for it.

6. Teach them good, important things: kindness, charity, love, forgiveness, compassion, respect, honesty, responsibility, and how to have fun.

7. Never lie to them if you want to raise good kids. Never tolerate any lie from them.

8. Raise good kids by developing their own uniqueness. Do not try to mold their personality.

9. Let them be who they are and let them become what they want to be, not what you want them to be.

10. Do not make jackass out of yourself at their sporting events.

11. Raise them up but do not protect them too much. Let them make their own mistakes and suffer the consequences. The lesson is in the consequences.

12. Give more love than stuff and you’ll raise good kids.

STAY INVOLVED TO RAISE GOOD KIDS

Know what is going on in your kids’ lives. Know what their good interests are. Know their friends. Have their friends over to your house for a party. Yes, they will trash your house, but it is better to have a messed up house than a dead kid. We raise children but they die these days. There are guns and drugs and suicide and pedophiles to deal with. We do not have too many of those things to deal with when we were younger. Kids today deal with more serious stuff than we ever did. The best way how to raise good kids is to keep your kids involved and you being involved with them. Know who they hang around with, know where they go and have their friends come to your house so you can be close—not to meddle in their business, but just so you will be there if needed.

GIVE THEM THEIR PRIVACY, BUT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON

Do not read their email or their diaries. Do not be a snoop. You need to stay informed but if you violate their privacy they will resent you and cut you off from any and all information. If you really want to raise good kids know what is going on, establish a relationship based on open communication, trust, and respect. Then you will not have to resort to being a snoop in order to stay informed.

BE COOL BUT NOT TOO COOL

Be the good, kind of parent your kids can talk to. But do not be their best friend. Do not try to be one of the gangs. I raise good kids with my two boys. I am their friend but I am still their father. We can openly talk about anything in the world. Yet, there is a line between being their best friend and still being their father that we do not cross.

It is sad to see mothers and fathers trying to be their kids’ good friends. Children should pick their own friends. Let them. Do not be such a needy parent that you require your children to pick you as their best friend. Be realistic on how to raise good kids!

Raising Your Child: 3 Secrets to Raising a Happy Child

Posted in Labels: Happy child, Parenting, raising a happy child, Relationship, secrets to raising a happy child, Teaching

There are really no secrets to raising a happy child. Parents need only to do one simple thing: to stop doing all things that keep the child pleased in the short-term. Giving everything your child wants make him think everything can be attained in this world which is not the way it is.

Understand that raising a happy child is not absolutely the parents’ responsibility. Many parents who think they are responsible for their children’s happiness will only cause anger, loneliness and failures to themselves and the kids. Most parents tend to immediately provide things to resolve their kids’ emotional problems. Unluckily, if children do not learn how to deal with their negative emotions, parents may not be able to create happy children. Many conditions will increase problems to their children’s lives.

Once parents realize they can’t really make their kids happy, children will be likely to fix their own feelings. Through this, parents can help children to develop resilience, skills for coping up with obstacles and solutions to many struggles.

Here are the three secrets to raising a happy child

Secret # 1: Always nurture strong connections.

Your kids’ way of enhancing his long-life healthy emotions is by being “connected” with people. It means they are connected with the members of the family, relatives, friends, not excluding house pets. Genuine happiness comes from being a part of other people’s lives. A happy feeling that somebody understands, appreciates and cares about them is the largest defender against emotional and mental disturbances. The condition helps also in coping with the risky behaviours in alcohol, sex, smoking and taking drugs.

Secret #2: Allow opportunities for achieving success and overcoming failures.

If you truly want to strengthen the self-confidence of your child, avoid focusing much on praises but provide more ways in honing his skills and learning new things. It is mastery that builds higher self-esteem and not compliments. Our greatest challenge to raising a happy child is to stay back and allow our kids do things they can do for themselves. Allow children learn things through the consequences of their wrong choices and actions. One big mistake parents unconsciously do is caring and doing too much for their young children, depriving them the opportunities to succeed and excel.

In reality, it is not easy for parents to see children struggling hard. But eventually they’ll get the mastery in what they do if they are allowed to do things for themselves. On their first attempt, only few skills are completed, but through patience and practice, kids will accomplish expertise. Through recurring mastery experiences will they mature and carry the “I can do” attitude. These secrets to raising a happy child will allow passion and optimism overcome future struggles.

Secret #3: Don’t forsake responsibilities.

Children become happy mainly because of the feeling that they can do things especially when they receive importance from others. Deprived of that feeling, they become afraid and feel left out by others. Studies show that what children are afraid of is the state of being excluded.

In short, every person has the inborn need to be appreciated, loved and needed to be happy. The more you affirm about your kids’ great contribution to the family, the larger they develop confidence and you can succeed in raising a happy child. Children three years old or below can contribute significant role to the family.

So if your child loves to organize things, offer him a task to sort CDs. If he is predominantly nurturing, provide opportunities to look after his baby sister while eating your meal. As long as your child is making a great contribution, it will raise his sense of confidence and connection.

What makes raising a happy child successful could surprise you! Experts say that child’s happiness is something parents can’t give like a gift. In fact, over-protected and over showered with toys, children are more prone to grow fed up, pessimistic, and lacking confidence. The most important secret to raising a happy child is not external but internal: helping kids to develop inner tools children can count on for the rest of their life.

How to Teach Children to Read: A Way of Helping them Succeed in School

Posted in Labels: Children Succeed in School, Education, Mind, Teach Children to Read, Teaching

Teach Children to Read

Who wouldn’t like to teach their children to read and develop reading skills? All parents’ concerns involve the growth of reading at the very young age for their kids. But how should parents teach children to read and be of good help in increasing their children’s love for books?

Books are very interesting and to read can be a life-long habit. They contain all topics a young child could never miss in life. But children won’t just select a book and expect him to be excited all the time, so teach them to read now.

In order to teach children to read, they need parents’ participation to make them driven. It has been proven that a child who loves to read has the higher level of succeeding in school. He can learn better and faster than any grade-school student. Books are timeless and alive; they help young kids to travel and discover the far and unreachable worlds of interest. So teach and read to your children.

Again, the most effective way to teach your children how to read is to start early. Start to read books to them, and allow them to read to you also. Just continue showing them lots of books. Not too long, young children will be drawn naturally to read by themselves every day.

Teach to Broaden their Interests

As they continue, you can teach your children to read more by enlarging their interests. You can make reading a vital part not only for learning but also for making it a life-time habit. Teach children to read by giving them books on science, computer, language, problem solving, discoveries, etc. The list actually is endless to make your kids succeed in school.

To teach children to read is not something you push to them to do. It shouldn’t be a burden on their part but something to make them feel excited and interested. Take time, every day, to read to your child. If you see the kid playing toys, show an attractive book. He may interrupt you from time to time, but the important thing here is that he sees you holding books and reading. For best result, always make reading a source of fun for the child.

As parents, you can allow your child pick the kind of books he is most interested in. This is also one way of discovering what area of interest your child has. Picking out what books he likes helps in developing his ability to be independent. Moreover, you are trusting in your child’s decision and judgment. It’s a lot easier to teach children how to read if they like the topics.

Aside from short-story books, give him work books with lots of stimulating writing and solving activities to boost brain development and intelligence. To read stories and get something to work on can be an excellent way of boosting his learning experiences.

Reading for Studies

One of the major problems of parents nowadays is how to make their children study well in school and do homework. Admittedly, there are many students who feel lazy to read books. Their interest to study is not what they enjoy doing. Focusing on their studies has been replaced with other less important things. If they have already grown up, it would be hard already to teach your children to read.

If only parents will teach the value of reading to their kids, they would have solved half of the major problem about their children’s education—their interest to study hard. Circumstances like struggling, yelling, fighting, reprimanding would have been avoided by parents if they had taught children how to read. Wouldn’t it be a worry-free life to see your child independently reading and studying without forcing him to do it? Teach your kids to read for a stress-free life, both for children and parents.

There would never be greater things parents wish for their children than to see them read and study their lessons independently. They get what it takes to succeed in school and it all started in reading.

In conclusion, parents can always teach their children to read and help them succeed. You can inspire them in a lot of ways through reading. While they are young, surround them with a variety of useful books. Not too long they will amaze you; you will hear them speak broad knowledge on the subject matters they love most! Teach them to read; they'll benefit a lot to make it their lifetime habit.

Educating and Teaching Responsibility to Your Kids

Posted in Labels: Children, Education, Parenting, Teaching, Teaching Responsibility

Every parent wants his or her children to learn the virtue of being responsible. We’ve always wanted our kids to be trained in making wise decisions. Later in life, we want them to grow up responsible for their deeds and keep living as mature people.

Are parents good enough to teach children on responsibility by doing household chores? Tasks at home are important to building up responsible children. But what about being trained and learn to be accountable for their own deeds? How are parents at taking charge for their actions? Do parents offer opportunities to disappoint children instead of making them driven and responsible? These things happen in every corner of a home.

Children start valuing themselves as family members the moment they are able to make simple contributions. Although very young, they can already begin to hang their own clothes, keep their toys inside a big bin, help mop the floor, fold the laundry, or wash the dishes. For each stage and age level, a parent can increase their children's tasks in order for the latter to become more responsible. Added work should be appropriate to their age.

If parents practice discipline that results to logical consequences, they’re actually training the child to be in authority over their behavior. In contrast, it seldom works when a child always receives nagging, reprimand, or punishment. If they are exposed to these things, children won’t learn the sense of responsibility. The conditions will only terrify the child. The repercussion is a neglected trust and respect between parents and children. Remember, one of our major jobs as parents is to train children and make them responsible for their activities.

You can try giving lots of opportunities for them to understand what responsibility is. The life core of a person is about choices. Though toddlers may look too young too make choices, 1 or 2 entrusted responsibilities can make a big difference. Like mature people, children must live according to the costs of their decisions. Whether they do well or make mistakes, still the experience promotes respect and self-worth.

More often than not, parents always mingle with the activities of the children. They take most of the troubles where in fact it’s the children who personally own the problem. Parents are more overwhelmed about uncompleted homework. If we gradually detach ourselves from them, we’re teaching them to be responsible for whatever they do. We can support them by showing our faith that they can handle difficulties.

Guidance and backing up are great to offer. We may ask: “What would happen if you can’t get the homework done?” “What would you do now since you didn’t meet the requirement?” However, always be there to uphold them when their attempts fail to work.

How are you at measuring your children's ability to handle strong responsibilities? How quick are you to put blame on them? Do you take rights for your part in the problem? Children are taught only to be victimized; they never learn that they are the ones to take charge of what’s happening. But a real responsible person faces the challenges to change things instead of passing faults to others.
