Why Your Child Seems Lazy and Unmotivated to study? (Read this Post for Solution ��)

When you just look at your child and wonder
“why is it that this child is so lazy and
unmotivated to do anything especially school work?”

And this can be very frustrating
you just feel that the child is the problem and
you focus your energy on that child changing
and not what is really causing the problem.

if you feel a little bit confuse,
let me share a personal story with you

When I was younger my mum complained
a lot about me being too slow and not smart
even at my home chores and my school work
She talked about it like I deliberately decided
to be slow or not smart

This made me feel like she didn’t really care
about me even when I know she is my mother
I didn’t really feel like changing to be smarter
or better,
it just made me more stubborn

This affected my education till Senior Secondary School,
even when I became wiser and knew that it was
from a place of love.
By then it was a bit late because I had failed
a lot and repeated some classes.

This got me thinking…
Maybe if she had paid attention to the problem
and not me, I would be more motivated
to change or do better .

Also

My aunt’s son Seun was very stubborn
he didn’t like to read at all. Anytime his mum asked him
to read, he would practically hit his leg on the floor and grumbled.

When my aunty noticed this
she spoke to him calmly to understand
what the real problem was
and she addressed the reason he was always
reluctant to study.
With this, he became motivated and was ready
to learn because he didn’t feel like he was attacked.

As an educationist, I have discovered
that the problem with most children and teenager
is they feel unmotivated to read.
But if you make the problem all about them
and not seeking to know the problem and
why they act the way they act,
they will continue to throw tantrums and be more difficult

This is how you can go about it
Let your child know that you care about
who he or she is as a person

Connect with your child over things
that interests him or her (this works a lot)
and then bring up the conversation about the problem
and how you can both find solution to it
Discuss their favourite hobbies with them

This will help your child to understand that
while he or she may be struggling, you’ll be there the entire way.
And this feeling will actually motivate your child
to do better I their education

P S: It very important for you to understand your child
and how you can help them to do better in their education
and reach their fullest potential. You can also introduce
new educational material that will help your child learn
faster and easier with the WAEC video lecture.
