Does Your Child Have Trouble With Tests? Help Them Study Smarter!
In classrooms across America, teachers strive to provide engaging lessons and meaningful homework, but more often than not, our students are not learning how to learn. Kids walk out of their classrooms armed with study guides, notes, and chapters to read, but they dont know how to put that information into storage for retrieval tomorrow, next week, or three months from now. Here are four easy ways to help your child study smarter:
The Rift Between Parents and Childfree Adults
Not too long ago a client picked up a copy of my book, Complete Without Kids: An Insiders Guide to Childfree Living by Choice or by Chance, at the local bookstore. I saw her a couple of weeks later, and she shared with dismay that her teenage son had confiscated the book and was enjoying reading it. She added that she hoped he wouldnt get any ideas from the book, because she is so much looking forward to being a grandmother. I didnt really know how to respond to her comments.
Does Television Cause Aggressive Behavior in Children?
Many kids enjoy relaxing in front of the television and taking in their favorite programs, but when these programs are rich in violence, this simple viewing could have a lasting impact. Researchers have long wondered about the impact that viewing violent programs has upon children. In an attempt to prove or disprove this correlation, researchers from an assortment of organizations, including the American Academy of Children and Adolescent Psychiatry and the American Medical Association have dedicated themselves to studying this phenomenon, and their work havs yielded some results that could be important to parents.
Good Microscopes for Children
By the time they’re in fifth grade, many kids get the chance to try a microscope at school. Since this activity is usually closely organized and supervised, kids don’t really get the chance to do any free experimentation on their own. Having a microscope at home gives kids the opportunity to make their own discoveries; however, parents will want to invest in microscopes that are easy enough to use and effective enough to make experimentation fun.
The Best Children’s Magazines
Aside from books, reading magazines can help children improve their reading skills and expound their horizons by learning new things. Using magazines as additional academic references can also help improve a child’s school grades. According to the Parents’ Choice website, magazines should not be overlooked, because they deliver well-designed learning treasures.
