Help your child make friends with books early in life even if it means that occasionally you need to read their books with them. |
 |
Regular visit to libraries also helps in making your child friends with books. |
 |
Do not do the homework for them; show them how to do it themselves. It gives them a sense of achievement when they do home assignments on their own. |
 |
Verbal rewards and appreciation for small achievements are great motivators; reward your child often. |
 |
Time management is essential while doing homework. For instance ensure that home work time does not overlap with your child's time to play. |
 |
Course books can be fun too, if the child is able to connect the contents in them to day to day life. Help him do that whenever you have time. |
 |
Put yourself in their shoes to understand them better; do not forget to remove your own shoes first. |
 |
Ensure a happy atmosphere at home and encourage discussions. |
