What I did first to help my child build a study habit
Over the New Year, one of my nieces told me that she doesn't study on her own.
So, this time, I will introduce what I did first to help my eldest daughter build a study habit.
The basic idea is that no one wants to do things that are a hassle or troublesome.
I explain this in detail in the following article.
Three things I did first to help my eldest daughter build a study habit
I placed a worksheet with just one or two problems on her desk.
I prepared a sticker chart and had her put a sticker on it when she finished.
I made sure we studied together right when she woke up in the morning.
The reason for using worksheets is that workbooks and notebooks are a hassle because they require the effort of opening them.
By using stickers, the results become easier to see. She was in the lower grades, after all.
By studying together, she isn't lonely.
Anyway, I started with the idea that it's okay as long as you sit in a chair and do something at the desk.
Starting like this, before I knew it, she had built a study habit.
I started studying with her in the morning because I came home late from work, so the morning was the only time we could see each other. (She wasn't staying at home all the time back then!)
The downside is that it's not eco-friendly (since I'm printing constantly).
The sticker charts and problems
were either obtained from sites like that or I made them myself.
It consumes a lot of ink and paper, so it's not eco-friendly.
↑ When my previous printer broke, I took the opportunity to switch to one with an eco-tank! (I feel like I've saved quite a bit on ink costs.)
What I did first to help my child build a study habit: Summary
Thank you for reading this far.
To summarize this article, the first things to do to build a study habit are:
・Lower the hurdle to getting started
・Make results visible
・Avoid being alone
My second daughter uses the backs of the massive amount of used worksheets that pile up every day for drawing (now that she is a bit older).
Sometimes when there is a sheet of paper that is white on both sides in the stack for drawing...
Second daughter: "Daddy, can I use this?"
Sorry, yes you can... we have sketchbooks too, though...
Thank you for reading until the end.
