Your Child is not the problem
You just haven't found what works yet.
No child is dumb, and just as fingers aren’t equal; each child is different from the next. I think we can all agree on that.
Kids, especially between the ages of 5-12, learn best through active, playful and hands-on experiences rather than long sessions that feel like a YouTube documentary. So before you conclude that your child is naturally not smart, you might want to check if you’re the one doing something wrong.
Here’s a short checklist of things you can implement to change the trajectory of learning for your scholar:
Observe first: At such tender ages, learning and assimilation happen differently for each child, your job is to detect it. Look out for patterns — the times they learn best, their pace, rate of understanding and retention ability. This is the first step to knowing what works best for your ward.
Keep sessions short: They have a limited attention span.
You’ll be needing Patience, lots of it. Those little minions will test you.
Teach without yelling or harsh words. Focus on creating a healthy environment that builds confidence rather than shrinking it.
Chunk topics into smaller bits: Help them understand the basics, instead of overloading them. Give them adequate time to grasp concepts.
Keep learning fun and flexible: Use various methods to get a particular idea across. It enhances understanding and keeps them looking forward to each session.
Use rewards and small gifts to encourage and motivate them.
At the end of the day, what matters most is finding methods that align with how your child learns; bringing out the best in them, and that’s exactly why ScholarsDo exists. ScholarsDo makes learning for kids aged 5-12 engaging and effective through tutoring, interactive tools, educational games and digital flashcards that make every lesson feel like playtime.
