Studying can be a challenge for most of us, especially for kids. Who wants to stare at a book until your head hurts and you feel sleepy? Despite this, we all know that kids need their study time. After all, this is what teaches them more than just textbook. 

Parents have continuously tried to find ways on how to make studying more fun for kids. Some old strategies include offering reinforcements like going on a shopping trip or eating at their favorite restaurant after their child completes their study time. These tricks may  have worked in the past, but today, parents can use more exciting ways to make studying fun for their kids. Here are some tips:

• Study Cards – make study cards with pictures & different signs or symbols to help your kids study on the go. You can tailor fit it to your child’s personality. 
• Break Up Your Lessons – you cannot expect kids to sit still & listen for hours on end. Take regular breaks while teaching them.
• Educational Games – turn your lesson into a game to get your kid’s attention. If you’re studying Maths, you can use marbles or sweets to show numbers & equations.
• Give Choices – sometimes, all kids want is to have a say. Let them pick an activity that goes with your lesson, or let them choose what homework they want to do.
• Allow Breaks – kids often get irritable & frustrated when they need to sit & concentrate for extended periods of time. Experts suggest a 5-minute break for every 20-minute lesson. 
• Compliment Them – this is a great way to build their confidence. ‘Great job’, ‘excellent’, or ‘You were amazing’ are some examples you can say to your child.
• Nutrition - children who get enough vitamins & minerals are more likely to be more engaged, more positive, & more interested in learning. Giving them vitamin supplement help in ensuring your child gets the nutrition he needs.

These are just some of the many ways parents can make studying more fun & exciting for their children. Your child will be able to bring this enthusiasm for learning as they progress through school.
