These are phrases that accompany the concerns of some parents who feel bad when they see that their children do not take advantage of all the effort they make to give them the opportunity to study, so in today's topic I will share them because many children do not I like to learn and work in school, and I will share several things you can do to cultivate in your children a taste for knowledge which is one of the bases to educate successful children.

• Studying is a right for which our ancestors fought, however, a large part of the last generations, have seen the academic formation as an imposition, instead of what it really is, a privilege and a great opportunity. And with this I want us to be aware that many children do not like to study or go to school because they do not really know what it really is and how fortunate they are to be able to acquire knowledge and opportunities.

Added to the previous point we can say that many children do not have a reason to go to school, I have known cases of children who worked as much or more than an adult from an early age, and even with fatigue, they found a way to go to school, only because they had the illusion and the goal of improving their quality of life, but most of the children who do not want to go to school when they ignore the pressures of real life, lack this motivation and it is understandable that they do not have the minimum desire to overcome, because they have the idea that the world should give them everything and their only job is to receive.

• And the last point of why a child does not like to go to school? it's just that they are not used to it, many people find it hard to return to work after a long vacation, if that is difficult for you now imagine that those vacations had lasted your whole life, because that happens with children, especially when they were little Learn to do only what you want.

You already know the reasons behind the rejection of many children to school, now let's talk about how to reverse those situations and how to sow in your little ones the love for knowledge and personal growth.

• The first step, without a doubt is that you know your children, their abilities and interests , so that by using their personal characteristics you can motivate them to learn and study, your job would then be to identify the relationship between their tastes and study, for example, if he likes soccer you can motivate him to study the history of football, if he likes a movie you can point out the importance of education in the life of the characters, or if he likes video games you can teach him the process that requires making a video game it requires mathematics, programming, arts and many more academic aspects, the objective is for your child to learn how important and valuable education is, even in all the things that fascinate him or her.

• Identify the strengths of your children , That is fundamental, it can be art, mathematics, natural sciences, recognize what is good and exploit that capacity to the fullest, there are children who like many fields of knowledge, and others you are only interested in one, whatever the case, use it as a gateway for your child to enter the world of learning, motivate them to investigate, study together and practice it, because over time, feeling that it is good for something, will be motivated to excel in other things.

• Give a reason to your son to study , if your child does not have one to go to school, probably only go to waste time, it will only go by obligation but without any ambition. Children can improve when you teach them the reason why they should go to school and study, for example if a child likes sales and money, it is best to educate them and teach them the importance of mathematics for that. he likes it, you will see how he will improve knowing that he has a reason why he should study, and this can happen with any child, help him find his goal in life and accompany him to reach it.

How to make my son like the study?

• Well putting it to study, what is the subject or subject that more students do not like? Mathematics, but do you know why so many people do not like them? because they do not understand them and because they are difficult and do you know why they are difficult? because they do not practice them, and with the study in general the same thing happens, if a child studies little, he will have little practice and little knowledge, which will make it difficult for him to continue learning and being something difficult he will perceive as unpleasant , as something to be avoided, and by avoiding it you will be closing the vicious circle of ignorance. On the other hand, when someone strives to study and study, over time it will be easier, even fun, and when you notice this facility and see that it stands out from others, you are born wanting to continue studying.

To apply this to your children who may be stuck in a vicious circle, start small, because wanting the child to study as a scholar when we never instill those values, is a big mistake that only makes things worse, you have to start making the child strive to learn and practice a lot, a topic of preference that is to your liking or that is easy, because it will only serve to start the virtuous circle of learning, when the child sees the fruit of his effort and experience how good it feels to have knowledge, nobody is going to be able to stop it.

I must clarify that when you want your child to practice extracurricularly, you should make them perceive it as something pleasant, even this is one of the few occasions where we can use the prizes with complete peace of mind, remember that we should only use them when children do something that exceeds expectations, and we should avoid rewarding a child for doing something that is their responsibility. Study groups and courses are also a good alternative to awaken in children a love of learning.
