It is no secret that there are many things to do in this world that are more fun than studying. Most parents know how hard it can be to get their kids to sit down and focus on their schoolwork. However, if you find a way to motivate them, they will be able to learn all they want while still having some fun! Here are some tips on how you can keep your child motivated and focused during those long hours of study time:
Set Your Study Plan and Goal
When setting goals for yourself, make sure they are SMART—specific, measurable, action-oriented, realistic time-based (SMART). For instance: "I want to be able to play my piano piece fluently by March 1st." If a goal isn't SMART then it may not be worth working towards since it isn't very specific or measurable or realistic—for instance: "I want to learn how to play the guitar."
It is no secret that students are more successful when they have a plan and a goal to work towards. But what motivates them to actually stick to their plan and achieve their goal?
There are a few things that can help motivate students to stay on track:
1. Make sure the goal is realistic and achievable. If a student feels like the goal is out of reach, they are less likely to be motivated to achieve it.
2. Set smaller goals along the way to the main goal. This will give students a sense of accomplishment as they check items off their list.
3. Find a study buddy or group. Having someone to study with can make the process more enjoyable and also hold everyone accountable.
4. Use positive reinforcement. Celebrate each small victory along the way and give yourself credit for sticking to your plan. This will help keep you motivated to continue working towards your goal.
Reward Yourself
After completing a difficult task or goal, give yourself something that you enjoy but wouldn't normally allow yourself (a small treat from outside of your budget).
When you have completed a larger project or exam, give yourself something that is not related to study (take time off from schoolwork).
The important thing is that when motivating students, reward them with something they would not normally allow themselves—something they'll appreciate because of how hard they worked throughout the semester.
Find Out How You Learn Best
Read through the material (e.g., textbooks or handouts) and take notes in your notebook as you go along.
Listen while someone else reads aloud—you can do this with a textbook or an online article depending on what kind of content it is.
Watch videos or listen to audio clips that break down concepts into smaller pieces so it makes sense easier than listening to someone talk about something too difficult for them.
Create a Study Schedule
Follow these tips to motivate your kids for study.
Set your study plan and goals.
Reward yourself for studying.
Find out how you learn best, then create a study schedule that is most likely to keep you on track and motivated. Some students are auditory learners, others visual learners. It’s important to find out what kind of learner you are so that you can create an effective study plan for yourself.
The reward system can be a great way to motivate students. This doesn’t mean you need to give them money or other tangible items when they do well; instead, you can use something as simple as stickers on the chart.
