5 smart ways to keep your kids from getting bored while studying

Let’s face it: Studying isn't an activity that kids enjoy the most, but it is unavoidable. So, it’s no wonder that they easily get bored during long hours of study. As a result of boredom, they may end up procrastinating, which may affect their academic performance. But the good news is, you, as a parent, can make learning interesting. Here are some smart strategies to do so.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Add audio-visual elements to studies&nbsp; Audio visual elements can add fun element to any topic. If your school goer has to study a play by William Shakespeare, start with a YouTube video that talks about the life of this playwright. This will set the tone and mood for the play. Rather than telling your child to resort to rote learning for the sake of marks, use techniques like this that will generate his interest in a topic that he doesn’t have a natural knack for.&nbsp;



Try movement-based study practice&nbsp; Moving while studying is a great way of grasping any topic. Movement takes away the boredom while stimulating the memory. Walking prevents drowsiness caused by prolonged sitting or inactivity.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



Motivate your child to study different subjects in short durations&nbsp; Making your kids study different subjects for a short yet equal amount of time can help them avoid being bored during study hours. Poring over wars and battles fought in history for 40 minutes followed by practising different figures of speech through the next 40 minutes and so on can do the trick. This technique takes away the monotony and helps in efficient grasping and better retention.&nbsp;&nbsp;



Reward your kids for their time and effort&nbsp; Offering rewards to your little learners after completion of a study goal can do wonders in driving academics-related boredom away. However, make sure that you don’t offer a material gratification. For example, you can take your school goer for a nice drive or allow some game time after completing a math exercise. This will help her look forward to something interesting at the end of a study session that is otherwise boring to her.&nbsp;



Use fun, modern resources &nbsp; New-age learners need modern and creative ways to imbibe contemporary academic concepts. Use of flashcards, made-up dummy games or making a vision board for recalling the not-so-interesting terms can aid your kid in eliminating the word ‘bored’ from their study schedule.&nbsp;&nbsp;
