My daughter is 8 yrs old and she dont like to study?

Question

my daughter is 8 yrs old she don't want to go school nor she is interested in studies. always she wants to switch on to tv or to play.Please help me by giving some suggestions

Answer 1

Do some studying yourself and let her see you doing it. Make learning and study more of your life and the life of the household. Children learn by copying and when she sees you take an interest in study it will encourage her.

When you start to study get your daughter involved. You have to be sly with kids. The trick is to get them to learn without realising it.

Answer 2

You are the parent.    You set the guidelines to study or watch tv.   Regardless of what she wants, you need to set the perameters do what is best for your daughter.   Set an example.   Have a family reading time to get started.

Answer 3

remind her that her future is ahead of her...

but i wouldnt worry until it comes to when it really matters... and it doesnt until high school..

so let her have her fun.

Answer 4

Can you get to a library? You can get a free library card and take out books that have great pictures and stories that she would be interested in. You can take out lots of books at a time--free- for at least 2 weeks. You can show her that you believe that learning is important by learning yourself. Read one of those books to her when she goes to bed at night, or let her see that you are reading, too.

   What you are doing is going to be what she wants to do. If you can't get to the library, you can go online and visit sites where you learn things or play games that help with school subjects. You can talk to her teachers or the school guidance counselor to get some help, too. Show her in as many ways as you can think of that school --or rather learning--is important! And the best way to show that is always to be asking questions and looking for the answers, questions like, "what is healthy food?" or "how do we get directions to the library?" or "what kinds of flowers grow indoors?" and so on.  You're on the right track by asking this question!

   The best thing you can do is to turn off the TV or get rid of it altogether. What that means is that you will have to be more involved in helping your daughter find things to do. I hope this list helps a little.

Answer 5

Get her interested instories and books by reading to her.

You could start by cosying up together just before bedtime and you start by reading to her, then progress with her reading to you..reading together or just discussing the pictures.

Incorporate this time into your daily routine.

Don´t try to force her to open books , just make it seem like a lovely few minutes spent with the parent.

Encouraging a love of stories and books is the most important thing to focus on. Other study skills will follow.

Good luck.

Answer 6

Hmm try and get her into reading, you could make her see a great movie based on a book, and then get her to read the book. But at age 8 you have plenty of time. I'm sure when she decides what she wants to do after school she will take it more seriously and study.

Does she find it difficult or just not want to do it? If it's difficult you get a tutor, or tutor her yourself. Or just have the rule that she can't watch TV or play until the work is done. It may seem harsh but eventually she will do it and it'll be alright.

You may just have to force her into school, if you need to reason with her say she can have a day off every 2 weeks and then reduce that amount later.

Answer 7

shes 8 years old! You have plenty of time!

Answer 8

Of course she doesn't want to study and she would rather play or watch tv, wouldn't you?

I think children who prefer to study instead of playing are quite hard to find.

Nevertheless, she should study, as she needs it in her future. She may not see that, but you do.

As a parent, your responsibility is to raise a child to the point that she is a well functioning adult. She can't take the responsibility yet, but you can.

So, not going to school is not an option, neither is not to study. You make the rules and she should follow them.

You might set certain hours for study and playing. For example, she studies for a certain amount of time (be strict) and after that she gets to play. This is also how it works in adult life, you work for a certain amount of time, and you have a certain amount of time to relax and do nice things.

Playtime is also very important. It's a matter of finding a balance.

Make the rules, and make her live by it. No really means no, so don't give her what she wants if she gives you a hard time. Because that way, you only learn her that she is the one who is in control, instead of you. And again, she is just not old enough to understand the consequences of not going to study.

Good luck!
