Learning is going to be an essential part of everyone’s journey through life. It’s something we all have to understand and will be a big part of all of our lives, so it’s essential that your child knows how to enjoy learning. To help with this, there are many ways to help your child appreciate learning in many different ways. Here are some top tips.
Make learning feel fun

If there’s a way to make something fun then set up games and other activities to get your child excited about the prospect of learning. It’s a great way to help your child see what is great about picking up new skills and activities on a regular basis. Learning doesn’t have to be stuck in school books and writing out essays, it’s all about the journey and making us aware of what you can pick up from learning something new.

Try out different learning styles
A common issue with children learning is the ability to be focused on what they’re picking up and how it can be retained in their mind. We all have different learning styles, so this may be why your child is struggling to feel motivated. Use this as an opportunity to explore different ways to learn. For example, using interactive ways to learn skills instead of watching a video may be a better way for your child to learn and absorb knowledge.

Time your moments
A child that’s feeling upset is going to be less likely to want to do things that they don’t necessarily enjoy. When your child has had a fun day you could ask them what they enjoyed about that day and, ultimately, what they learned. Use this method to change your child’s perspective on what it means to learn and see how they want to learn more and more in a similar way.

Explore ways your child’s school can help
There are plenty of ways a school can help you and your child pick up new skills and also get to appreciate what they’re learning in the classroom. Whether your child is heading to an independent prep school, or enjoying their time in secondary school, there are many different enrichment activities to keep children interested. Teachers can help you identify where your child’s strengths and weaknesses lie, which can be where you can find opportunities to make learning more fun and engaging.
