Paving the Way to Success: Improving Study Habits and Learning Culture

Sept. 24, 2008 - PRLog -- With nearly 50 million students headed back to approximately 97,000 public elementary and secondary schools for this years’ fall term it’s natural to begin thinking about students’ education success. With so many children in our school systems today, how can we know for sure that nobody is falling between the cracks? What can we do to help? And most importantly is there a way to ensure success for a child? By instilling an awareness and a culture of education into a child today, success is inevitable tomorrow. Providing a child with an effective education is one of the most important facets a parent will face in raising a healthy and thriving individual. However, it is equally important to instill a culture of education into their everyday thinking.
Rather than teaching a child specific study methods, actually enhancing their awareness of what it takes to be successful involves their ability to, “think about thinking”. If they come to the realization that learning can occur both in and outside of the classroom and throughout their entire lives, the sky is the limit for what they’ll be able to accomplish. Parents need to take into consideration five basic steps in helping children accentuate their learning experience. A few of these steps include instilling the significance of learning, developing self regulation in goal setting and study planning, help your child understand which study strategies work best, realize the importance of parental support and home environment, and concentrate on attitude.
By following a few simple guidelines and realizing the importance of education at an early age, parents are able to begin to teach their children to reflect on what it takes to not only succeed in the classroom but to become lifelong learners and successes.  Check out tutorfi.com for more parent resources and to learn more about online tutoring options that can contribute to skill mastery and lifelong learning.
