Parents sometimes have a hard time studying their kids successfully or encouraging them to study. Sometimes they do fail on this matter because they are so engrossed with the idea that kids should have an A`s on their class or kids should be excellent in school - Who wouldn’t like it right? But in order to do so, the kids’ performance in school is based on how Parents introduce studying to them. A strict environment will not allow kids to be a fast learner instead they become afraid of studying.
Study`s shows that in order for kids to learn is through play. With Play, learning comes naturally and they become more interested in studying. So it’s up to you Parents on how to creatively study your kids.  

We have come up with this Top 10 ways to help your child study creatively:

1.  Make it a game -  Flash Cards as what the research suggests. Learning comes naturally through play and Flash Cards are one of the most effective tools of learning. There are lots of games you can make with flash cards and one of those is Memory game, you can put the flashcards on the floor and let the kids memorize it. After a minute let them write the names of the flash cards.  Or you can also have an identification game; just let them identify what is on the flash card. Just be creative or better yet try out the SUPERSKILLSBOX Monthly Subscription available here www.superskillsbox.com

2.  Invite a Partner – but supervise work gets done it is always better to do it in pairs or group. Kids can enjoy the company of others while studying, they can have someone to converse with or share their ideas with. A friendly environment can motivate them to study especially if you can make games for them too! But don’t let them study on their own or else there`ll be no work done.

3.  Incentivize – An ice cream once done or their favorite food. Kids love to be praised. Let them know that they are doing great. This could also motivate them to study –no one can resist an ice cream!

4.  Take them off site like in a coffee shop for several hours just to refresh their focus and change of scenery. This could also help them from getting tired or bored of studying. Studying at home all the time could refrain them from getting ideas from the outside world. You can also enjoy from it too, how about a cup of coffee?

5.  Share your Study Habits kids adore you! They loved hearing things about you! And they might be inspired with your study habits. Just don’t be too carried away and you might want to enforce it to them. They`ll lose interest in studying if you do so. Just let them be inspired by you.

6.  Have them take a scheduled hourly break or else they will lose interest in studying. They’ll get tired and get bored eventually. Even adults need a break so give it to them.

7.  Break up Studying with something fun don’t just stick on studying your kids, it will tire the both of you. Having fun while studying will give your child an idea that studying is not bad at it seems to be. They`ll be more willing to study and you`ll benefit from it too. Just remember that learning comes naturally during play.

8.  Let them know why they need to study they might not know why they have to. Explain it to them very nicely. Give them examples to what studying can lead them to.

9.  How`s your day? before studying ask you kids first on how’s their day in the class. Kids love to talk about the things they do and what interests them. Engage first for a talk and this will help boost their desire to study.


10.                Take it slow don’t take everything seriously. Remember you are studying with a child. They have their own pace and kids will learn eventually. Just don’t give up and trust your child. Learning is a process and we all go through that.

When our children want to play soccer, we then look for soccer clubs that would best fit our children. Then we realized that looking for it is such a daunting task. Basically, we wanted our children to get into with an environment that will give them fair opportunity to develop and of course have fun.

In choosing the right soccer clubs for your child, here are 5 tips we would like to share with you.

1.      What is the clubs' Mission?
Some clubs are focused on their outcome or wins and league standings rather than your children`s development as an athlete. This may lead to stressing their players since they are very focused on their own goals. Look for clubs that are focused on the development of their players and allows them to learn at their own pace that will lead to your child’s success as a player rather than of a team member.

2.     Know who the coach is
It is also important to know who is the person we are going to entrust our child with. During tryouts, you must find out all about the coach’s details such as their licenses, experiences that they have or their way of teaching. Also, observe the coach attitude towards the players on how he handles them. We don’t want coaches who love bullying their players rather teaching them aren’t we?

3.     Facilities
Learn all about the club’s facilities whether they have their own fields on which their players will train and play. Do they have indoor facilities such as fitness training facilities or do they have classrooms and media facilities? Most importantly is that know if their facilities are safe for your children.

4.     Tournaments
Know the clubs` approach to tournaments. As what mentioned awhile ago, it is important what is the club`s goal. Is it only for the winning or the enhancement of their players' development? Also, if you want your child to be exposed to different experiences and learnings ask the club if they are also into out of state tournaments or if they have chances to play with opponents from other states.

5.     Make sure your child is happy

This is the most important thing in choosing a soccer club. Make sure that they are happy with the club that you are getting them in. That the club`s goal is for the growth, development and happiness for all their team members. Find a club that your child will enjoy with.
