You know what’s sad? That lots of kids think learning is boring. Learning is essential for a successful life, and it’s not always about school. Sure, school can be boring sometimes, and not every subject can be fascinating for everyone, but ultimately, learning is a positive experience, so it’s important that our kids see it that way, too. As parents, there are a few things we can do to help make learning fun for our kids.
- ABC Mouse. ABC Mouse is a wonderful site with fun interactive educational activities for 2-7 year old kids in a range of subjects, like math, reading, art, and science. You can track your child’s progress and teach your kids to love learning. Check it out here.
- Incorporate learning into other activities. Almost anything you do with your kids is an opportunity for learning. Point things out on walks, practice fractions with baking, visit a museum to talk about art and color.
- Do things together. Spending time with your kids is good for both of you, and when you use that time for learning about the world your kids will have a positive attitude towards learning. Use your child’s interests as a springboard for information and skill-building.
- Ask questions. Have talks with your kids and ask questions that will make them think. Discuss their answers and always give positive feedback.
- Be a role model. Show that you love to learn and your kids will follow your behavior. Let them see you reading and learning new skills and they’ll see that learning is not just about school.
