My Child Does Not Want To L`earn And My Child Is To Lazy To Learn?
97699
Please tell us a little more about your child and we'll try to help.  Generally children do want to learn and children are not lazy.  We need only watch children as they play or when they are doing things they enjoy to realize they are not lazy.  \n\nIf children won't or can't learn it is because something is wrong.  It often means the work is too hard, or too confusing for some reason for the child.  Or it may mean the child needs to be taught in a different way or using different materials.\n\nSo tell us a little more and I expect you'll get some better help.

1. Contact an attorney in your state.\n2. Pay your child support.  I won't even go into what I think of parents who have no desire to support their children...

That's a tough one. I don't know how you handle discipline in your house but something that has worked for me (I am the primary care taker for my boyfriend's two children who are both from different unions) is using a good marble/bad marble system. I know it sounds kinda corny at first, but, you make a customized fair list of the behaviors that are not acceptable (whining and petty tattling is on our list) and they get a bad marble (btw we have pickle jars labeled good and bad) anytime they exhibit these behaviors and if they get too many (say 5 or more depending on how minor or major they are) they get restricted from a privilege. However, it wouldn't be any fun if they didn't get rewarded when they are behaving so you can make a list or decided on a moment to moment basis if they are being good (sharing, doing things when told, remembering to put a plate in the sink etc.. whatever works for your household) and if they get so many good marbles I let them make a list of a few fun things we can do around the house for 30 minutes, and another short list of things we could do that would cost a little more that we would have to drive to or something like a small toy and I reward them weekly with something fun for being good and helping me out.  You may need to do it as a daily system. I used to use it daily but now that the boy is older and better behaved we only have to use it weekly now. Sometimes children just need a little guidance and to know what the rules are, and to know what is unacceptable and when they can see that their behavior is not good consistently and they are rewarded for being good they will want to change.. especially if you make a big deal out of them being good.  Good Luck... hope this helps or gives you some ideas anyway.

Free can be tough, but you have several options as far as either getting your child a free ride to school or reducing the amount you need to pay.\n\n1) There are scholarships, including full-ride scholarships available... but it is something your child will need to work for that you can't do for him/her.. like excelling at sports, in various subjects like math, science, art, or music, or doing a lot of community service.\n\n2) If your child doesn't qualify for a full-ride scholarship, he/she may qualify for financial aid.  There are basically 3 kinds- grants, which you don't have to pay back, loans, which you do need to pay back, or work  study, in which he/she will be working for a salary in order to pay for their college.\n\n3) Your child can start to look for a job now to help pay their way through college.\n\n4) You and your child can invest money into a savings acoount starting now and not use it except to pay for college.

Have you talked to your son to see if it is what he wants to do?  If it is, just let him know that it may be a little harder and he may not the get A's and B's he is use to but he can't get discouraged and quit.

I know its been said but first of all be encouraging.\n\nMake it something fun not work. No child (and most adults) want to do work. \n\nHelp him set goals. Small short term goals that lead up to bigger goals. Have them feel like they are working up to something important to them. Often graduation or college just isn't enough. Find out his true dreams and goals and set up ways to get there!

I agree with the above answer about not forcing a child to learn.  If you want to foster a lifelong love of learning then you have to let a child explore, discover and develop curiousity on their own. Encourage a child to ask questions and then guide them to find answers.  Teach them how ot use a library, the computer and best of all - encourage them to try things, go out into the world an observe things and do hands on research and experimentation.  \n\nI also think children need some structure and repetition, especially when it comes to learning math,  reading and writing skills.  But it does not need to be boring.  You can teach a lot of basic math skills while cooking, shopping and playing with toys.  Reading is always interesting if you encourage a child to pick out books which interst them.

take your kids to an inner city slum or bad area. let them feel how one can end up. if they do not work hard in school to get a good education so they can get a good job and make a nice life for themselves. teach your kids  self reliance. The child has to realize himself that  he needs to get the good grade for himself and not for the parents or teacher. this teaching of self reliance also needs to be applied to all areas of his life. doing chores around the house. never tell him/her you are too small to help cook or do the dishes because he would only get in the way. \nnever invalidate. or treat the child like a child. treat the child as a human being with respect. you get the benefit of not being a slave to your child and when he /she is 18 , they will be ready and able to leave the house. do not tell your kids what to do. but show them how to do it. and they will never rebel. good luck

NOOOOOOOOO! it is not your obligation. you need to have some tough love with this child! Lay down the rules, and tell her that if she can't live with these rules that she is 20 years old and is free to move out. You are babying her! If you don't help your daughter find confidence in her abilty to take care of herself she may live with you FOREVER!!! or at least rely on you each time she is "down and out"

education in its ideal form would be tailored to each indivdual so that each students needs are being met.  It sounds like your child has special needs in that he/she is so far advanced that he/she may get bored by staying home.  My son is pretty close to the same criteria as your son and I know I am sending him to kindergarten because of his social interation, cognitive and problem solving skills.  Some kids mature physically faster than others as I sure you know, but I think they can do so mentally as well.  Send your child to school, he/she will benefit from the interaction with others and reinforcing what you have already taught him/her.

How old is your child???\n\nI recommend something that will enhance their creativity, I've seen toys like that but I don't know what they're called. Try getting your child to paint or draw, you don't really need expensive toys to enhance his/her intelligence.\n\nYes! reading works! It would be great if your child was around 1 or 2 years old, coz they absorb everything! \n\nI remember as a child being read to, so as I grew up I read more and more, and became faster at it and became good in english.\n\nDon't let your child stay in front of the TV for a long time ^___^

It is WAY better to be raised by loving caring parents then have your child being raised in a daycare. Being with your child teaching them what could be better and at least you know what they are learning and not learning from other children who may not have the best influences

Many things like that will teach discipline and dedication but what matters is which one is your child interested in?  If your child hates it, then it will not have the effects you desire.  Whatever you choose to get your child involved in, it will have far more chances of giving the results you desire only if your child is vested in it.  If your child hates it, dedication will go out the window.  It is hard to practice something day in and day out if you absolutely abhor it.

Yes i am totally in agreement.The teachers now a days expect the parents to teach your child at home,i believe in helping your child,but i refuse to teach my child and pay the taxes that we do.Now a days the children will be left behind with what is being taught,but not being explained to them.My kindergartner's teacher is complaining of his reading,excuse me,i never learned how to read until the second grade.See Jane run,See Dick get Spot,you know?It is totally a money issue not a caring child issue,or things would not be like this in our school systems.Sorry for the bluntness,but this is also a touchy subject for me as well.Take Care!

Don't try to convince him, show him that you are mature enough to have one and to be responsible.Don't say every one at school has one because then you can forget it.He will not care about the other kids, only you.If you work maybe you can say that you will help with part of the payment.

try spending more time with her... if you do your research children often diagnosised with ADHD often are just wanting and needing attention.  parents (not you) but a lot of parents find it easier not to discipline in a constructive manner by reinforcing, correct behavior, and concistancy. so you often find that so parents can get out the easy way they allow there children to play video games, watch an anormious amount of TV, eat things with red and blue dyes, and are not consistant with reinforcing behaviors that are expected, all of these say to kids play by yourself, watch tv by yourseld, and eat what you want to. leaving children lonely and wanting attention, try to play games with your child, rent a movie for just you and him/her and have a fun popcorn movie night, go for a walk, watch what you child is eating, (look up red, yellow and blue dyes in foods on the net and the effects from them) pay attention to what your child can't verbally express to you and stop trying to feed them pills. we need our children to be productive not so loopy that they can't function. these medicines are addicting and dangerous. did you know a lot of the ADHD meds cause children to halucinate? we have to work with our children and I am sure you are a wonderful parent and concerned other wise you wouldn't be asking this question, but maybe you could start asking your child more questions as well
