The main thing to remember about every parent: a person is born super-amusing. He asks questions. He draws on the wallpaper (it's better to hang paper on them), smears the porridge on the table (you'll easily remove everything later), pokes his finger in the socket (it's worth closing them with special inserts) ... He throws the toy and thus studies the law of universal gravitation. He will know! And if he is forbidden to throw a toy, he will not learn this law. If the child is constantly told: "Do not stick your nose in someone else's question," "Curious Varvara at the bazaar tore off his nose," then after a while parents hear from the teacher that their son or daughter does not want anything.

A child who is interested in learning everything new, learning the world around him and constantly developing will not have the question: "Why should I go to school?" After all, how many children answer it today? "Do not know". They can be understood. "I can communicate, I can read, I can count, what else do I need?" - schoolchildren argue and come to the conclusion that nothing. And then they run away from lessons, because they have nothing to do with them, they are not interested. This is a refusal, that is, laziness. What to do? How can this be changed? Here everything is in the hands of both the parent and the teacher. It is fun to walk together Do you know what your child and his peers are passionate about? What games do they play? What are their idols? A simple example: if we look around, we will see that the overwhelming majority of schoolchildren wear headphones all the time. But do we know what kind of music they listen to in them? Do we know how to live in the same rhythm in which they live? Do we understand their hobbies? If you answer no to each of these questions, immediately change the situation. Knowing what the child is breathing, you will reach him faster. The child says that knowledge today is at arm's length. And he is absolutely right. If the teacher puts the children in the classroom and simply says that today's lesson is devoted, for example, to the fact that the Volga flows into the Caspian Sea, then the student is unlikely to want to quickly absorb this information. He understands that, if necessary, he can always find out about it on the Internet. And if the teacher does not manage to keep up with the times, which we wrote about a little higher, then you will be the person who can present this information so that the child will run to a geography lesson next time. Curiosity is the Head of Everything In simple terms, a parent should always have an answer to a child's question: "Why should I know this?" Teach him to seek this knowledge, explain why it is important and why it is curious. The keyword is curious! The same is, for example, with the multiplication table. "Mom, why should I teach her if I always have a calculator at hand?" - the child asks. And my mother, with an intriguing intonation in her voice, answers: “The multiplication table develops your brain and, perhaps, will one day help you count your money. It's a discovery tool. Reading is a way of knowing the world. Knowledge of a foreign language is an opportunity to communicate with residents of other countries and learn about international discoveries. Etc. It is important for a teacher and a parent to intrigue the child, explain how and where he can use knowledge, and only then will he understand why he should come to school. Interest, curiosity, desire to learn and develop - these are the very driving forces that should be "warmed up" in the family. Also interesting:
