A teenage son comes home after school and throws away his bag of textbooks. When greeted by his mother, he says: “I hate this school! Tired of these lessons! I won't study! And you won’t force me!” Mom, in shock, calls dad - go, figure it out. Well, my father’s method is simple - “You won’t study, you say? Fine! Phone on the table. And don’t go near your laptop or TV for a week! Yes, and you won’t go for a walk either!” The son slammed the door and locked himself in the room. Common situation? Why don't teenagers want to study? Let's look at the reasons. There can be at least three of them: Boring Vitya goes to school because he has to. Otherwise there will be scandals at home, my mother will be upset. But if I could not study, not do these stupid homework, it would be so great! He sits in class, yawns, gets bored, understands little, and sometimes spends the entire lesson talking to his classmates. It’s boring at school. This really happens! Unfortunately, modern school is aimed at results and cramming from a textbook. Without thinking too much about interesting teaching aimed at practice. Remember yourself as a teenager – were you interested in studying? Gnawing on the granite of science, so to speak)) I remember from my school childhood when a new history teacher came to us. And every lesson we acted out different scenes. A teenager could be a peasant and a landowner (another teenager) came to him to take a quitrent. And they entered into a dialogue, discussed what kind of rent the peasant was ready to give. But the landowner resisted. He said, give me more, this is not enough for me)). I remember perfectly everything that we played out in these lessons. It was interesting, exciting and memorable for a lifetime! And this also created excellent opportunities for a quality puberty experience! But I’ll tell you more about this later. And then it was easy to study! And interesting. The only pity is that the teacher left us a few months later. Apparently the system failed her. Back then, in my childhood, it was especially difficult to be an innovator. It can become uninteresting at school, but often this boredom is created, without knowing it, by parents while still in kindergarten. For example, when even before school the child was over-worked and eventually lost all interest in learning. And if in the first grade the child studied even less, then by adolescence, interest practically disappeared. It’s just that one day parents overdid it in preparing their child for school life. What can be done: If you can’t find a school where they will teach in an interesting and practical way, you can still gently and unobtrusively return interest in learning. This should be done this way: Each child has a predisposition and interest in certain areas of study and is completely passive in others. Take a closer look at which school subjects your child likes or does best. Focus on deepening your knowledge in those subjects in which your child is strong! And not where he is weak and falls short. It is necessary to strengthen the strengths, because it is these subjects that will later become the basis for the child’s professional self-determination. And not those in which he is weak and they are simply not his. So, for example, you tell your child that history is easy for him and offer to additionally go to a history club, buy history books, watch historical films, study history with a tutor. But in physics he is rather weak. He doesn't love her and doesn't understand her. So you don’t touch physics. Let it be a weak three. By enhancing strengths, you will thereby create conditions for the child to feel successful and therefore increase motivation to study. And you have a choice - the child will not be interested in everything, or he will be happy to immerse himself in one or several subjects headlong and understand them. I want attention. Kostya comes home from school and cannot sit down for his lessons for a long time. Either he sits on the phone or gets ready for a long time. Until you shout, it won’t start. Began. “Hurray,” the parents sigh quietly to themselves. But it's not that simple. Then it begins: “I won’t do this. Because I still don’t understand. There's some kind of
