Spark Your Childs Interest In Learning - Have Them Teach You
Want to spark your child's natural desire to learn?
Our Expert Tip:
Take the time to explore their interest. Stop trying to teach for one afternoon and let your child teach you and about their passion. Spend an hour playing their favorite video game or have them take you out in the garden to catch bugs. Ask questions, play, laugh, and discover what sparks their interest. Notice that when they do something they enjoy their motivation or desire to learn does not have to be bribed or forced. Try one of the following to explore their passion:
- Take them to relevant websites as a homework break
- Go to the library to conduct research on the weekends
- Perform an experiment after homework one evening instead of watching television
- Watch a documentary on the subject and hold a family discussion
- Plan an outing to local exhibit or show to explore their interests
