Ten Steps for Developing Good Study Habits
Your child can expect to spend more than thirteen years going through school from pre-school to high school. How he/she performs during those thirteen years determines how well she’ll do in college and later in life. Grades are extremely important when determining scholarships or if
internships are granted. But how can you ensure your child will do well in her/his classes? The first step for great performance in school and college is to learn good study habits. The sooner your child learns good study habits, the sooner she’ll/he'll start making the grades and opening the doors to opportunities.
There are basically ten steps to developing good study habits.
1. Understand the necessity of studying- As a parent, you must convey to your child as soon as possible why studying is important. You must also be interested in school; your child will take an interest because you do. The earlier he/she becomes interested in school the better. Keep the child motivated to achieve his/her goals, not only in life but also in classes. One way of doing this is writing down where your child wants to be in five years. For younger children, try next year or even a few months. The important thing is to get the child used to developing goals. For older students, the issue becomes what profession does he/she want to study? Writing down a list of goals will serve as a reminder to study your child of what she/he wants to achieve and is a great motivator when she/he doesn't feel like studying.
