It’s important for your child to work hard when they study
but there are methods available to ensure they are getting the most out of their
time. Take a look at our tips and learn how you can help your child do just
that!
Studying non-stop can end up doing more harm than good, with
any session exceeding 90 minutes likely to affect the brain’s ability to
process new information. Opting for 30 half-hour blocks is not only more
manageable but more advantageous too, as is converting study into a game. This
could be achieved through creating a quiz show-like atmosphere with flash cards
or by setting goals with rewards.
Contrary to popular belief, constantly combing through the
same textbooks will not help your child remember information as well as some
other methods. Practice tests and past exams are a better alternative, as they simulate traditional test questions and highlight any gaps in knowledge that need work.
Distractions come in many shapes and forms, and can be
detrimental to efficient study. Mobile phones should be switched off because
between calls, messages, apps and social media, there is a massive chance of being disturbed. Having a quiet,
designated study space can also do wonders for your child’s memory retention.
This topic is heavily debated but pulling an all-nighter the
day before an exam rarely has a positive effect. Your child is better off
getting a decent rest and being fresh in the morning, as opposed to trying to
stuff their brain with every last detail from a textbook. Limit sweet,
processed foods prior to assessments to avoid sugar crashes.
