Frequently asked questions
How can I get my son to start studying without arguing?
Agree on a fixed routine, offer limited choices (for example, starting with one subject or another) and reinforce the start with praise or small incentives, avoiding threats and arguments.
What should I do if he gets distracted by his mobile phone or tablet while studying?
Set a clear rule: devices out of the study space or in airplane mode during the session, and reserve a specific usage time at the end as a reward.
How much time should you study per day according to your age?
It depends on the course and the child, but it usually works best to divide into blocks of 20 to 45 minutes with short breaks, gradually increasing according to tolerance and school load.
How can I tell if he's studying properly and not just skimming?
Ask him to explain the topic in his own words, to answer questions without looking at notes, or to do practice exercises; if he can do this, there is real understanding.
What can I do if he gets frustrated and says he doesn't understand anything?
Help him identify exactly what part he doesn't understand, break the task down into small steps, alternate easy exercises with more difficult ones, and seek support from the teacher if the block persists.
