Seventeen tips in home education

Tip 1: Instill love as well as a love of learning and education

ΘYou are the best role model for your children, so be passionate about learning, being educated, or your profession.

ΘFind ways to actively learn in the various ways in which you are engaged in your career. This will greatly improve your chances of advancing in the workplace, while also enhancing your career satisfaction, which will be of great benefit to you and your children.

Θ Expose your children to people who love to learn and work in different careers. This will give them a healthy learning mindset and give them information about pursuing different careers.

ΘLove of learning is the most important factor for career success. For the sake of your child's future career, it is important to develop his passion for learning now despite any difficulties.

For your child to love learning and be willing to be educated, you must do:

1) Personally demonstrate this love or expose your child to people who love to learn.

2) Happily take the time to transmit this love to them.

Incorporate a sense of learning and love of education into all of your child's activities so that they don't see learning and education as primarily a school thing or just doing homework.

Don't just tell your child how important their education is to you - make sacrifices in your life to convince your child.

Tip #2: Instill family pride and loyalty

Θ Emphasize family honor over personal achievement.

Θ Teach your child to realize that his academic performance affects the entire family, either by sharing success or tasting failure with your family.

Θ Foster family pride and loyalty by emphasizing as much as possible what makes your family unique.

Tip 3: Instill a sense of delayed gratification as well as dedication

Our family believes that the rewards of hard work and diligence, no matter how late they come, are more satisfying than short-lived accomplishments, and set an example for your children by always living by this belief.

ΘHelp your children set long-term educational goals by teaching them to look ahead to the joy and satisfaction that comes from future success.

Θ Make the process of educating your children fun for them! Ensure that your child's academic journey is less brutally demanding; allow your child to relax occasionally to gain instant gratification.

Θ Teach your children the value of delayed gratification early on by using approaches that are workable and that even they can understand.

Θ Teach your children to be aware of the sacrifices that the entire family makes for their long-term educational goals.

Tip 4: Clarify your child's role as a student

Â- Carefully organize your child's time after school.

Develop a rigorous but enjoyable schedule or curriculum that constantly reinforces your child's role as a student.

Â- Take on the role of an out-of-school educator so that your child can continue to take on the role of student. Accept the teacher's way of teaching your child as the most effective.

Â- Teach your child that being a full-time and lifelong student who needs to learn is not only worthwhile but fun.

Â- Show respect for your child's teacher. Never denigrate the teacher or reverse your child's role as a student and treat the teacher as the enemy.

Tip #5: Respect elders and authority figures

☆ Limit the amount of time your child spends watching TV, especially MTV and E Channel shows. Make them aware that popular iconic figures are not necessarily role model people.

☆ Do not allow your children to be disrespectful to elders or authority figures, whether in tone, words, or behavior.

☆ Teach your children that there is no excuse for being good students of their teachers! Turning in homework on time, listening carefully in class, being diligent and hardworking, and encouraging each other with classmates are all things that win the teacher's praise. This will give your child a bumper crop of education years later!

Tip 6: Take an active role in educating your child

● Discuss your child's shortcomings fairly and openly at parent-teacher conferences.

● Make a note of the highlights of the conversation at each meeting. Don't forget to praise and appreciate your child once his or her grades improve. Arrange a fun activity with your child to discuss the content of the meeting.

● Know when your child will get his or her report card back and have a serious discussion as a family about the various accomplishments on the report card. Doing so will further demonstrate the importance the whole family places on the education received by a particular family member.

● Take standardized tests as far in advance as possible, and if possible, the earlier you start, the better!

● Investing in your child's education is one of the first things a family should consider.

Tip #7: Identify and nurture your child's special talents

★ Identify what talents your children have, and create the conditions for them to strengthen and nurture those talents.

Do your best to foster a career passion that will satisfy the need to use your child's talents.

Be open and honest with your child about his or her career plans and make sure that the career he or she will pursue will make use of his or her talents and will be financially secure. You can put your child on hold to make a career choice decision and regularly share your plans with your child until then.

★ Although the income rewards and lifestyle are enviable, many children associate "secure" careers (i.e., medicine, law, engineering management) with years of hard study and hardship. Let your children know. This type of work doesn't have to be uncreative, boring, or uninteresting.

Tip #8: Identify specific short-term and long-term goals

Θ Identify short-term goals that can be accomplished and achieved, but do not deviate from long-term goals. The important thing is to keep your child interested in learning.

ΘEstablish a tenacious work ethic, have a persistent attitude, and master the ability to pay attention to detail - and have your child imitate it.

Involve your child actively in his short- and long-term goals. Have him write down all the goals he wants to achieve in his "goal book". This will increase his sense of responsibility and the likelihood of achieving his goals.

Tip #9: Teach your child to value academics over social interaction

Teach your children that people with intelligence and character have more dignity than people with social circles and social status. Stress to them the importance of being academically successful.

-Encourage your child's interpersonal and athletic progress; praise him greatly for his academic progress. This will change his value orientation away from social interaction as a goal to be pursued.

Although children's social interactions take only a secondary role, they are an aspect that should not be ignored. Encourage them to make friends with like-minded children. By scheduling one social activity each weekend, your child will have fun and will be focused on learning throughout the week. Remember, be flexible; if your child's grades are dropping, schedule more time for homework; if your child's grades are excellent, give him more time with friends.

Keep a record of your child's grades in each course and keep track of how your child is doing in school. This is a good way to keep track of your child's learning progress or regression.

Tips 10: Praise your child for good grades and make a spiritual improvement plan for poor grades

Â- The first thing is to give recognition to your child's efforts, but don't forget to motivate your child to strive for success.

Â- Tell your child that you are proud of the effort he has put in, but are not quite satisfied with his results. Getting praise for a child's poor work can only have a detrimental effect.

Tip 11: Pursue a career with intellectual innovation and income security

Â- Be honest with your opinion about your child and career choices. The career your child wants to pursue may not be the same as the one you think of, and you may be thinking more about your child's long-term happiness. It is important to find a middle ground that takes into account your child's happiness on the one hand and guides them on a proper career path on the other.

It is necessary to talk to your child early and often about their career choices. If your child is older, you will need to find time to talk to him individually, and also arrange a time for him to talk to educational experts or guidance teachers. Choose a career that requires a high level of knowledge structure and can bring in a steady income.

Â- To help your child find a career path, you must analyze their hobbies and strengths, what they like to challenge themselves with, and what kind of life they seek. Tell them that graduating from high school and finding jobs with guaranteed income and the ability to reach their potential are only exceptions.

Tip 12: Affluent families should spend money in moderation

● If your family is average, encourage your children to pursue careers that offer both personal fulfillment and a good income. Let them understand that personal happiness depends largely on stable financial security.

● If your family is well-off, also motivate your children to be successful in their studies. Give them non-material incentives, including (but not limited to these) self-esteem, a sense of family honor, a desire for knowledge, a desire for higher education, and the satisfaction of setting goals and achieving them.

● Let children pay for at least part of their college costs so they can experience that earning a living is not so easy.

● It is often difficult to teach children about delayed gratification if rich parents live extravagantly themselves. Live simply (at least in front of your children)

　 Tip #13: Don't overdo it with extracurricular activities that interfere with school

If you want to be good at everything, you'll end up being bad at everything.

Limit your child's extracurricular activities to two or three, and choose those that he is extremely interested in and talented in.

Include at least one art class in your child's extracurricular activities.

Through teamwork, children learn that people have a much better chance of achieving their goals by working together. They develop friendships and social skills as they deal with each other. In this sense, extracurricular activities develop the quality of mutual collaboration. It develops healthy interpersonal relationships (both personal and working) and makes them aware of the value of teamwork.

Participation in extracurricular activities helps to improve the ability to multitask and manage, an ability that is very important in today's society.

Tip #14: Create a healthy competitive environment

Parents should use competition to stimulate their children's motivation and potential. Children wanting to win - in moderation, of course - is a good thing for them.

Raise your child to develop such an attitude. One loss in a competition can help him win another - if he can learn from that loss.

Life is one competition at a time, and the best way to teach children to be tested by all kinds of competition is to engage them in competitive activities, which also fosters their competitive spirit.

Fear fuels human energy, as long as you are not intimidated by it.

Tip #15: Make friends with like-minded, motivated people

Learn as much as you can about your child's friends and their families. Once you know their parents, encourage your child to socialize more with those whose parents value education.

Remember that you have the right to tell your child what to do and who to make friends with, and of course to reason with him.

The strongest friendships change over time. If the friendship is not beneficial, it is better to break off the relationship.

Tip #16: Create opportunities to achieve your dreams

～If you want your child to realize this, it's best to send them abroad to experience a different culture and life.

If you can afford it, it's best to do so.

～Teach your children to appreciate their surroundings, motivate them to make the most of opportunities, and other ways to encourage them to volunteer in the community, help the less fortunate, or accept foreign exchange students to stay at your home.

Tip #17: Parents and children share responsibility for their learning

Parents are partly responsible for their children's academic failure. This will help the child understand that his or her parents take education seriously and that the child's independence will not be compromised.

The best way to let your child know that you are willing to share responsibility for their education is to really about them and answer questions.

ΘA parent's task is far from over after a child graduates from high school. In the long run, college and graduate school are even more critical and directly related to your child's career development. It is important to continue to keep an eye on your child's development, but of course not be too harsh
