How to help your child get organized with his studies

The way the child interacts and relates to knowledge is closely related to the family approach to studies. The family, being considered the first socializing sphere for children, plays a fundamental role in the child's relationship with the school.

It is in the family that notions such as authority, hierarchy, and respect are initially established. In addition, it is in the home environment that children not only learn to adapt to different circumstances, but also create their learning model and how they relate to knowledge. Therefore, it is essential that parents be present in teaching-related activities and assist their children in the organization of school tasks. But what to do to help them?

Encourage the child to study

The first step for the child to be organized in relation to studies is to encourage them to study. This is because enjoying reading and handling books and school materials and being prompted to research new subjects, for example, motivate the child to take care of all that is related to studies.


Teach your child how to handle and store school supplies.

Many parents require children to keep school supplies and know how to handle them. On the other hand, many do not teach their children how to do this. So take a few minutes of your day to teach you how to organize books, notebooks, pencils, and the like. Explain that keeping them always clean and in the right place can make tasks easier and optimize time.

Create routines and be present

Children need routines to learn how to perform their daily tasks. So organize your children's day and set priorities. Make it clear that schooling should come first and that only after all that has to be done for school is play is released. Also, be willing to oversee the tasks of children. Be sure to check the school schedule daily and charge for the tasks done; praise the work you have done successfully, and be sure to talk to your child whenever he or she fails to do something to make clear your responsibilities for study.

Appropriate environment and times

In a favorable environment, the child tends to study with pleasure and to understand the seriousness of the task. Therefore, choose a suitable space for the child to study. Maintain proper lighting in addition to comfortable chairs and tables. Avoid getting your child to study in places that encourage distraction, such as a playroom. Also, be careful about your computer, which can also distract your child when it's time to study.
