Here are 7 tips to foster learning in your child.


1. Nothing motivates a child more than a reward. Know what your child likes. It doesn't have to cost a lot. An inexpensive toy would heighten his interest too.


2. When you begin to teach a child, you can use games as a starting point to entice him. For example, scrabble and Hangman are games that will teach them spelling and yet provides so much fun for the children. Later you take a step further and introduce him to more discipline learning. Math Games features some games you could play to teach little kids about numbers.


3. Inculcate a culture of learning. Introduce the four basic principles LLTR to the child which means Listen, Look , Think and Read. Once a child masters and applies these basic concepts he is given the framework to begin his quest for learning.


4. Set yourself as a example. Children love to copy and learn from their parents. Show an interest in reading and they will emulate you too. Inculcate their interest in reading by reading a book aloud to them. You can make it more interesting by reading only partially and letting the child read the rest of the book.


5. Don't isolate them from new technology. New technology is another aid to encourage learning. Technology is a tool that parents can use wisely. You can harness their interest in computers by letting them learn through play with educational cd roms offering lessons in various subjects like maths and languages.


6. Don't just confine your child to school material and textbooks. Expand his horizon by supplementing additional resources such as children's magazine and other reference books.


7. Let the children role play, recite rhymes or tell a story about their favourite game or toy. The children can take turns listening and communicating with one another. This helps them build up listening and communication skills which are so important.
