Motivating children to study: Students become the teachers

Consider this

It can be tempting to offer to do your child's homework if they get stuck, but that is not going to help them when they have to sit the exam at the end of the year is it!

While you can give them some assistance, one of the best ways to get your child to understand the problem, is by asking them to explain the homework / problem to you and then ask how they plan to answer it.

"They" say you only truly learn about a subject if you try and teach someone else. So parents - become the student, and get the child to "teach" you. It really does help to imprint the information, and who knows, we may also learn a thing or two.
