Lots of parents tell me how they struggle to get their children to do 11+ practice at home. You’re not alone!. Trust me, I know the battle very well, from the experience of my son a few years ago.
Here are some tips to get your kids to get into the habit of revising.
- Set up a quiet place where they can study (get a desk and chair. (You can get cheap and beautiful table and chair less than £50 in Ikea)
- Establish a routine: Set up a specific time each day for your child to revise, and they must stick to this time. This will help them a lot.
- Break up study sessions. Encourage your child to take breaks. (Maybe they can take a 10 minutes breaks after an hour study)
- Use incentives: Offer your child some reward for completing their revision, such as favorite snake or any activities they like.
- Make it interactive: Find a way to make the revision process interactive and engaging, such as using flashcards, apps, educational videos and games.
- Be supportive: Encourage your child and offer them positive feedback. Help them with any topics they may be struggling with.
I hope this helps
