Helping your child pass a certification exam. If you want your child to study, parents must do these two things.

Your child won't study.
They just play around even though the exam date is near.

Do you have worries like that?

If you want your child to study, there are two things you as a parent must do.

✨ Study yourself
✨ Work hard and show them that example

That's it.

In short, it's about showing them your back.

I will explain in detail.

Parents should study too!

Are you making only your child study?
Are you watching TV, watching YouTube, or lazing around playing games?
And then expecting them to study right next to you...

They won't do it.

If they are an examinee, you should study right next to them.
If they have an Eiken test coming up, you should study English right next to them.

In our home, when my eldest daughter took the Eiken Grade 3, I studied for the Eiken Grade 2 right next to her.

The result.
My daughter passed on her second try! And I passed too!

Because we climbed the mountain together, it is truly a joy.
And I can truly understand how hard it is for a child.
A child cannot open their heart to a parent who doesn't understand the difficulty of an exam.

Studying right next to them is very important.
It could be reading or studying for a certification, but whatever you do, don't watch entertainment on YouTube next to them.

The second thing

Work hard! Show them that example.

Work for the sake of your family.
It doesn't necessarily have to be about earning money. Cooking meals and cleaning for the family are also important work.
Show them that side of you.

You can only convey this through your actions.

Instead of saying, "Go study!"
Show them you working.

Then, they will think about what they need to do and do it.

Don't say, "Go study!"
Instead,talk with your child about work, money, the future, and politics and economics.

That is how you foster a sense of independence.

There really isn't much that parents can do.
Beyond that,

Believe in your child.

That alone is enough, isn't it?
