5 Tips To Make Your Child Focus on Studies More

As time passes, the previous generation keeps finding it harder to connect with teenagers of the present. Communicating and understanding with your teenager keeps getting arduous. These gaps of positive interaction often demotivate the younger lot. It also creates a lack where they begin to feel unworthy and misunderstood.

As a parent you need to empower them, make them understand their value and importance. This can be done by giving them work they like doing. It will help make them feel motivated. Even when it comes to studies, this approach can certainly work.

* Empathize

In order to know how to motivate teenagers to study, you need to understand how he or she feels and think. You need to put yourself in his or her shoes. Teenagers are extremely emotional and sensitive. Talk and try to understand their point of view then explain yours.

* Get Started

Teens usually get tired after a long day and can be lazy about doing their homework. So just telling your teenager to study will not suffice.

* Yelling Never Helps, Discussing Does

Scolding your teenager for the smallest of errors isn’t going to do much good. If you keep shouting at her for everything, your teen will emotionally distance herself and may stop listening to you as a sign of protest.

* Don’t Raise Expectations

Don’t raise your expectations very high the first time. Often very high expectations can constrain your teenager and make her anxious and pressurized.

* Emphasize On Extra Curricular Activities

Make sure that your emphasis on studying does not curb creative interests and other productive activities.
