Helping your child revise is not an easy task between busy schedules, extracurricular activities or even simply the difficulty of studies. However, we have prepared some tips for you to best support them in their revisions.
Help her get organized
First step in revisions: take back your course notes for intensive proofreading. If your child has not yet taken the time to organize his studies, you can support him by offering him a new way of working. For example, many children usesummary sheets or review sheetsin order to begin the work of memorization even before the end of the course.
No more loose sheets and hello storage, you can put your course content back together in the right binders in the evening or on weekends. It is difficult to have a good organization due to the different supports for each subject but you will bring an outside look and a logical awakening to your child with this storage.
Help him create his revision schedule
One of the basics of learning in children is the creation of routines. They are not only useful for a specific task but above all they provide a living environment and set times for each activity. For example, establishing a routine for household chores, bedtime, cooking, etc. are small sets of tasks that constitute healthy habits and a good living environment.
As a result, you can help your child buildits own revision schedules .This will allow him to easily adapt his working time according to his extracurricular activities, but also to estimate how long each action will take him. If your child appreciates this system, a virtual schedule is also available onMaxicours.comin order to create specific sessions before a test or simply for evening proofreading.
Offer him time or knowledge
Although rereading your lessons and building your files is essential for learning, another aspect of the reviews comes into play: the test evaluation. Here you can participate directly in your child’s revisions and even gauge whether his working method has been effective or not. Up to a certain age, the lessons remain easy to understand and to restore regardless of the level of study or the specialty of the parents!
But over time, difficulties can take over: whether forhomework managementor to answer specific questions, do not hesitate to ask for outside help. On Maxicours for example, your child will be able to ask questions directly to the teacherswith the Homework Help option.This will allow him to no longer block on certain points but also to go beyond the information coming from his lessons only.
Value their efforts and don’t blame mistakes
Although we wish the success of our children, it happens that even while revising, bad marks fall after the controls. Lack of work or overall investment, it doesn’t matter: you should rather see the error as a path to improvement rather than a fatality. Children learn from their mistakes, in particular they constitute a large part of the construction of their logical reasoning. In addition, self-esteem being very important for their identity building, pressing on their failures will only reinforce negative feelings.
Therefore, you can help your child by taking the time to praise him for his good grades and rather than scolding him for his bad grades, find common ground to improve. Children are in a continuous learning process, if a concept is not well understood, it may be interesting to review it together (even if the lesson is already over) in order to create a solid foundation for their knowledge.
