'How to help my child remember things'


We help parents who want to help their child remember information for their tests, show parents a fun way for their children to start liking studying and give children the confidence to find their way of learning.

I see not many parents understanding how going to school can be a very stressful time for their children. This is because they have been taught from their parents saying; 'In my day - school was great because you have no responsibilities - like paying bills'

The mistake that most people experience is: 1. Assuming school is easy

2. Think that school is not stressful

3. That children must 'just get on with it'

I'm going to show you the 3 tips and secrets to support your child through their school learning process, helping them grow in confidence and self esteem.

In a report from the guardian

'Meanwhile, the Social Market Foundation has published a report arguing that the government should fund after-school family literacy classes in primary schools, to tackle inequality by helping parents take a more active role in their children’s education'

https://www.theguardian.com/education/2016/nov/10/schools-focus-struggling-white-working-class-pupils-uk

The report was focusing on percentage of race struggling to focus in school. It is no surprise that with art being squeezed out of schools that the increase in lack of focus is due to 'creative and active lessons' dropping considerably. It doesn't matter what race, colour or language. The Arts College has worked with many children from different ethnic races and backgrounds to conclude that there are not enough tools to support parents or teachers to change their approach to learning creatively.

School is a stressful part of life. It is the same as applying for your first job, renting a home - although there isn't finance involved. The process to work through solutions, learn and grow is what is learnt from school. We have worked with many children and adults who want to remember information. Here are 3 tips that we introduce

Tip 1: Look at the times they are learning

I find that children do school the whole day, come home eat and go back to doing their homework. They need at least a full hour rest from learning to give their brains time to recharge. The activities need to be about play, creativity and fun without direction or control. The best time I find is the hour after they have had their lunch when they have finished school. Its almost a reward for them putting the time into learning

Tip 2: Have an area of study that is attractive

A desk is very important - not only does it improve physical health, but it sets a very clear difference between being distracted with play and focusing time. Have a board in front of them with colourful notes, images - the more attractive it looks to your children, the more they will want to make the effort to try

Tip 3: Study with images and creativity

I have had many students come to me saying they are battling to remember parts of their lessons. For example - if they are learning about the body - draw it on a paper stuck to the wall. Colour code it - stick colours, stickers use markers and have fun. The more you use images to learn - whilst writing alongside the images - the quicker the information will retain in their memory. Every time they walk past the image, their brain takes a 'photo' of the image which naturally pops up with ease when writing their tests/exams

Bonus tip:

Attend art classes or other creative classes

This helps your child to learn differently because they are solving, exploring and building with their creativity. This teaches their brain to learn and remember the information the same way.....
