Memory boosters help your child study smart
Does your child study for a long time, but not remember much? These "memory boosters" can help: Encourage your child to state facts out loud by "teaching" them to you. Your student can also reinforce knowledge by drawing a picture of the information, either on paper or in the mind. Connecting the information to something your child already knows, or making up a catchy rhyme about it, can boost recall, too.

Show your child how to find answers without asking you
It can start with a simple question. But before you know it, you've spent 20 minutes answering all the questions on your child's worksheet. Instead, help your student learn how to find the answers independently. If your child asks how to spell "Illinois," for example, ask, "Where could you find that answer?" Get out a dictionary or a map and have your child find it. Your student will learn the answer and how to find more answers in the future.

Sometimes, let your child learn by doing
Teaching your child new skills is important, and it can be a great way to spend time together. But kids often lose interest when everything feels like a lesson. So take a step back sometimes. Let your child decide how to tackle a project. You might ask if there is anything you can do to help. Remember that your child also learns a lesson from trying something that doesn't work.

Help your child move forward after a setback
Setbacks can cause self-doubt for even the most positive kids. Help your child overcome setbacks by building skills for success. Demonstrate how to break down large tasks into smaller steps that are easier to master. Teach problem-solving skills, like brainstorming and evaluating solutions. Role-play challenging situations until your child feels comfortable handling them. And never put your child or yourself down.

Teach your children to look for a solution, not a fight
Constant arguments are disruptive, at school and at home. To teach your children how to resolve a conflict without arguing, set some rules. When your children have a disagreement over something, they have to work together to find a fair solution. They should each tell their own side, then say what they need most. After that, it's up to them to try to figure out a way they both can get something they need.

Ask questions to strengthen your child’s thinking skills
There are many ways you can help your child learn to think things through. One is by asking questions aloud, like "I wonder why that happened?" and then discussing possible reasons. You can also show interest in the questions the teacher is asking, as well as what is being taught. When your child expresses opinions, ask for facts that back them up. And when your student reads, ask "What do you think is the most important thing you read in that passage?"
