“Online education is the same school. So the child must have a workplace where online lessons will always take place. In addition, it is worth making sure that no one distracts the child, neither the noise of the TV, nor the relatives themselves. Also stick to a schedule. The child must understand when he wakes up, brushes his teeth, exercises, eats breakfast, prepares for lessons and when the lesson itself begins. Many people think that with online learning, the child can sleep longer. But waking up 10 minutes before classes is not a very good idea,” says Kiriyenko.
The psychologist advises that after lessons, it is necessary to give the child the opportunity to walk, rest and change activities. However, it is better to refrain from gadgets and your favorite games on them.
Also, parents should trust the child to learn on his own, this applies to the lessons themselves and homework.
“Online learning is a good opportunity to make a child more independent. It is better to ask the teacher how she behaves in class, whether she understands the material, or is oriented. If you see that the child is having a hard time, then be with him for a while, but then leave him alone. It is better to check the completion of homework. But don’t do them together or instead of the child,” advises Kiriyenko.
The psychologist notes that the best motivation for children is to do all the work and get a reward for it. So you should think about what you can do after lessons, after homework, what exactly the child will be interested in.
“A very good method is to receive points for studying at home. For example, you agree with the child about his wishes, what he wants: to go somewhere, buy something, do something. For this, a whole week or another period of time that you agreed on, the child receives points for learning from you. When the appropriate number of points is collected, she gets what she wants. It stimulates very well and gives a feeling of doing something for the final result,” says the psychologist.
