My son is in 7th standard now, he is 12 years old. He didn't have any exams in our school till 5th std and sudden introduction of exams in 6th has created an anxiety in our minds. He tried to cope up, but in 7th standard he was really caught up with completing his portions on time for exams. What should be done?
It is a matter of his experience and learning style. Exams are now a matter of debate but you can make it easy with practice of answering from smaller to big one.
Making the subject study interesting is the idea behind this but how to help them put the concepts on paper in the exams?
We need to give him practice of essay writing on any topic so that he will develop his own memory styles. Working on thought process then asking multiple questions.
My son is in 3rd standard. He is not ready to sit and study unless otherwise give him a check to complete. He is intelligent but is not ready to read school books and other story books as well, even if I sit with him.
He is having more energy to utilize. Better give him activity based learning. He is good at reading which means he will take responsibility for listening.
Does having a good base language (English) make it easier to appear for exams?
Language is always the way of communication. So for global connect, we need to be fearless in the global language.
In school teachers say that my son gets diverted easily. What can be done?
Every 10 years, hormonal changes occur. Let him be and we need to just give him some task to get engaged. Words will not work.
My daughter is 13 years old and is in 9th. Final exams are approaching , how to motivate them to write and practice the answers in their own words , which in turn will help them to complete the paper , because they insist on reading only.
Writing speed is very important. She should daily solve papers with time span. She needs to make schedule of daily syllabus.
My daughter is 3.25 years old. She doesn't want to sit even for writing. I will give her the english book and she will start looking at maths. If I do maths, she will want to read a story book. What can I do?
Just diverting you. Just follow her target with her own. As per her aim and reason to appear for exams we need to take her in confidence and plan out strategy. That we provide in program
Lakshya. Simple thing, if you want to give her learning of alphabets of hindi, there are games that we have to create interest and learning with permanent marks. Just make number cards. Ask her to stamp on them along with you. If the subject is math, then write numbers with her. You can also use housie numbers for multiplication.
My daughter is in 8th standard now, till date she does self study. But for project studies, assignments, home work etc. She is very much dependent on gadgets/ Google. Sometimes she ends up with some entertaining stuff on gadgets. My question here is how to get rid of gadgets and how to make her think on her own. She always wants quick and easy ways to complete her work without wasting much time on thinking over it.
Even I give learning with gadgets, but we need to search and give her links. Just to open talk or understand the topic is good but taking notes and then explanation, i.e. self teaching and setting questions should be done. Time management learning is a very important part. Only then will they complete it within time.
