My Focus on Family Life and Parenting

Good Study (1)

Good morning everybody.  To have a good life, we should have a good study.  This is much best implies to kids.  We should tell our kids, the importance of good study.  They should be aware what will be the result if they have this good study.  As they were a kid, they don’t mind that much.  They will only feel the goodness of studying when they grow up.  But for me, it’s the best that they should start while they were still young. 

It has been said time and time again by parents, teachers, and school principals: “Good study habits make for good learning and good grades.” Of course, they’re right. But what exactly are good study habits and how do we get kids to practice them?

According to Jean Serrano, director of The Tutoring Club Philippines – Rockwell, there are quite a few and as she emphasized, “There’s no ONE study system that works for all children.”

Thus, Serrano encourages parents to develop a system that is customized to each child’s personality. It doesn’t even have to conform to what parents think is the right study habit. Says Serrano, “Should you let your child study in front of the TV? If it helps your child focus and study better, why not?”

However, before leaving your child to this kind of unconventional study setting, Serrano recommends that you ingrain structured study skills in your child first. Once he knows what it takes to learn his school lessons, then you may slacken the reins; but make sure though that you stay within reach. A child’s education should after all, be a collaboration between his teacher and parents. – Cecile Jusi Baltasar (Manila Bulletin)
