Tips for Accompanying Children to Study at Home

Accompanying children to study at home during the COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge for many parents, especially those who also have to work from home. So, so that you don't get overwhelmed and your Little One's learning activities are still effective, let's take a look at the following guidelines:

1. Make a schedule of daily activities with children

Staying at home can make your child think that this is a non-stop vacation. As a result, he may not want to study. So, keep implementing the daily schedule of activities for Little One and involve him in making the schedule. This method can make him more willing to accept and follow a mutually agreed schedule.

Mother can discuss and ask your Little opinion about what time he wants to wake up, take a shower, study, eat, and rest. For example, every Monday to Friday, Little One wakes up at 6 in the morning, then immediately takes a shower and breakfast. After that, learning activities can begin at 8-11 in the morning. If the learning activities are finished, your child can take a break, have lunch, or play.

2. Pay attention to the place and duration of children's learning

Place of learning is one of the important factors to support Little One's concentration of learning, you know, Bun. Choose a room that is comfortable, quiet, and has good lighting. Also, avoid rooms where there are toys or televisions because they can interfere with concentration.

The length of study time also should not go unnoticed, yes, Bun. Generally, children can concentrate fully for 20 minutes while studying. So, after Little has finished working on some questions for 20 minutes, Mother can let her rest for a moment.

3. Get to know the child's learning style

Every child has their own learning style. It is important for the Mother to recognize the learning style of the Little One to make it easy for the Mother to accompany her and make it easy for the Little One to also accept the lesson.

If your child is easier to receive information by way of looking, it means he has a visual learning style. With this learning style, give Little One a book with more pictures and diverse, colorful writing. Mother can also teach Little One by using mind maps or mind mapping.

If your child is more comfortable learning by listening to Mother read a book, it means he has an auditory learning style. In accompanying her while studying, use gentle intonation and like storytelling, yes, Bun.

Finally, Little One has a kinesthetic learning style if he understands the lesson better when he is allowed to move, for example spinning a pencil or moving a leg. In this learning style, Mother can prepare teaching aids or practice directly what is learned, so that the information is easier for your child to remember.

4. Establish communication with the school

Even though Little One only studies at home and doesn't go to school, Mother still needs to routinely communicate with her teacher at school, yes. Mother can ask what material the Little One needs to learn.

Some schools have created online learning systems, for example by conducting question and answer sessions via video calls or collecting assignments through an application. However, make sure you always accompany your child when accessing the internet.

Occasionally give him a gift for certain achievements, for example when he succeeds in memorizing a material or can do some questions. That way, Little will be more motivated to learn at home and the learning process can be fun for him.

Learning at home is one of the government's efforts to break the chain of COVID-19 distribution. However, do not let the time of study at home is used by children only for playing and lazing.

Apply the tips to accompany the learning children that have been described above so that the Little One is not bored during the COVID-19 pandemic and can still get an education like at school.

If your child has difficulty adjusting to the learning system at home or he looks depressed during the "cooped up" at home, try to get him to talk heart to heart. If necessary, consult with a psychologist.
