The effectiveness of a child’s diligence in studying is not necessarily equal to studying with a method. When a child has an effective learning method, they will optimize their time, improve their memory skills, and apply knowledge in practice. At that time, the child has a clear learning path, creating a solid foundation for long-term development.
There is a method that many experts apply, which is to persistently require the child to do 3 things before bedtime to significantly improve their learning ability and gradually become better.
Review the knowledge learned during the day before going to sleep
Parents should help the child form a habit of reviewing what they have learned during the day before going to sleep. The child does not need to sit at the desk and focus on doing exercises, but only needs to achieve effective revision.
They can apply some simple methods such as reviewing textbooks, notes, recalling the knowledge they have learned, identifying mistakes, and setting goals for revision. Gradually, the child will develop their own revision habit and improve their academic performance.
While reviewing, parents should guide the child to express in words what they have learned. For example, parents can play the role of a teacher to “teach” the child the knowledge they have learned during the day. In this way, the child remembers the knowledge naturally, without causing psychological pressure.
Read books before going to sleep
Parents can also help the child develop the habit of reading books with diverse topics before going to sleep. This helps the child accumulate general knowledge about humanity, enrich their overall knowledge base, improve their writing, expression, reading abilities, and other abilities, indirectly benefiting their academic performance.
For example, reading textbooks helps the child achieve the benefits of previewing, revision, and others. From there, the child masters the key points of the knowledge and improves their academic performance.
Parents should choose age-appropriate books for the child. By reading a little every day before going to sleep, the child will gradually develop an interest in reading and improve the quality of their sleep.
Calm the mind before going to sleep
Sleep is very important for a child. If the child maintains a positive mood when going to sleep, their body can recover better. On the contrary, if the child falls asleep with negative emotions, the quality of their sleep will definitely be affected.
Therefore, before the child goes to sleep, parents should allow the child to soothe their emotions in their own way and create a happy mood for the child.
One thing to note is that the child should be allowed to use their own methods because only the child knows when they are most comfortable.
