My Child Doesn’t Want to Learn

Children need both school and home to gain the skills they need. You play an important role in helping your child love to learn.

1. Read aloud as a family and take time to talk about the day’s events.
2. Model reading and writing at home.
3. Make sure your child has the tools to learn – paper, pencil, markers, and books.
4. Visit the library (let your child select books he likes), museums, and other places of interest in your community.
5. Visit your child’s school and attend school functions; get to know your child’s teachers.
6. Display your child’s schoolwork with pride in your home.
7. Kids with learning disabilities and behavior disorders get discouraged.
8. Ask your child’s teacher if your child’s disinterest could stem from this.
