This is a common problem that almost everyone faces: modern children often lack any interest in academic knowledge.
However, it is possible to influence this situation.
What tricks can be useful in this?
Show practical application of knowledge
Children often say that school knowledge will not be useful to them in life. But this is not entirely true. Show your child in practice how the skills and abilities acquired at school can be useful.
For example, you can find plants that are listed in the directory or plan your monthly expenses using mathematics.
Rate your child's idols
Children have their own idols, whom they consider ideal until a certain age. Unfortunately, not all of these people can be a worthy example for children.
If you know that your child has an "idol" that is teaching him or her bad habits, then it is important to influence the children.
You can't forbid your child to directly follow the celebrity's life. You shouldn't say bad things about this person either. However, you should try to shift the child's focus of attention to a more worthy candidate. Experts note that this should be done gently and unobtrusively.
Change the way you gain knowledge
Many parents believe that they are not obliged to give children knowledge, because that is what schools are for. But teachers do not always have the physical opportunity to make each lesson interesting, exciting and understandable for everyone.
Therefore, try to interest children yourself by choosing a non-trivial form of presentation. Ideas and even ready-made lessons on any topic can always be found on the Internet.
Talk
It is important to maintain authority in the eyes of the child throughout life. Thanks to this, your opinion will always carry weight.
To achieve this, you need to treat the child correctly throughout his or her life: not only with care and love, but also with respect.
