How to teach young-aged๐จโ๐ผ learners to love ๐ learning:
Sometimes it is difficult to get our young ones ๐งโ๐ผ to pay attention ๐๐, even more so when it comes to learning. But the answer is simpleโฆ
Keep reading and see if you can figure it out before the end!๐คฉ๐ฅณ
Letโs try the three๐ ๐ฅพ๐ฅฟ steps to get our children, excited๐คฉ, involved, and motivated.
Step 1: ๐
Rewards charts:
This is a clever ๐๐ง way to motivate children ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆto participate in learning. They will realise that if they learn, and do well they will get rewarded ๐. Some parents reward with something simple, like free time. They can have an hour to do something fun ๐คพโโ๏ธ๐คธโโ๏ธ, or watch TV ๐บ. Some parents reward with sweets ๐ญ๐ฌ, while other parents reward with small toys ๐ฅ๐ช.
Example: Each time a child studies well or learns something new, parents can give the child a star ๐ on the reward chart. After 10 stars (can be more or less) the child is rewarded.
Step 2: ๐ ๐
Games, games, and more games! ๐น๏ธ๐๐๐
Who doesnโt like games? ๐ฅฐ Young children struggle to learn if they are not entertained ๐คน. They want to laugh ๐, play and have fun. So why not learn โ๐ซ๐ฉโ๐ซ with games?
Flashcards ๐ are a popular game that can be used to amuse young children, as well as nursery rhymes ๐ค๐ผ.
Example: When teaching them about different vegetables ๐ฅ๐ฅฆ๐ ๐ฅฌ, you can hide the vegetables behind your back and ask them to choose a hand. When they choose the hand โyou remove the vegetable and say โThis is a carrot ๐ฅ". "It is an orange carrot ๐ ๐ฅโ.
Step3: ๐ ๐ ๐
Interacting with family and friends.
People ๐ง๐ฎ๐จโ๐ณ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐จโ๐ป๐ง๐จโ๐ญ are, by nature, not solitary beings. Young children ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ who are isolated โน๏ธ struggle to interact with adults and learn โ๐ซ๐ฉโ๐ซ. But making them a part of conversations ๐ ๐ will help boost their confidence ๐. When you are setting the table ๐ฝ, ask them to help you carry and while you are putting down the plates and bowls, you can speak about what they are doing.๐
Example: While you are getting readyโฐ for bed ๐, you can describe your actions to your child. First, I get undressed. Then, I take a bath ๐. Lastly, I go to bed ๐๐. You can also sing ๐ค๐ผ and add a song to your words to keep them excited and engaged.
