Homeschooling is quickly gaining regard among parents of children who require a more focused and tailor-made learning system. This is because homeschooling has emphasised and addressed the fact that children learn in different ways, at different rates. It is something which classroom-based instruction cannot always address, mainly because it targets competitive and social learning.
But its one thing for parents to regard the possibility, and another for their kids to willfully take homeschooling with a tuition agency. More often than not, it's a hit-and-miss affair with children. Since they know this very well, parents might need to exercise more effort at persuading their kids.
One of the better ways to encourage kids to give home tuition a try is through positive reinforcement: you, as a parent, give reward to deeds that are done well enough. In this case, participating in the day's session very well deserves a reward. Finishing the day's homework on time deserves yet another reward. Of course, you ought to care not to send the wrong message across, so your child does things for the sheer assurance of a treat afterwards. Keep rewards aside from the tuition, low-key such as an ice cream or movie time at home. Do not spoil them with too many toys or other flashy gestures. Let them realise that they have to earn the simple things they wish to enjoy.
Hiring a tutor who immediately makes a bond with your child is one other way. Naturally, this could mean a lot of experimentations at first, but if you really want your kid to make the most of the learning opportunity (and get your investment's worth), keep trying until you find that tutor your child would never hesitate to listen to.
Lastly, make sure to extend this out-of-classroom learning experience by visiting art shows, educational exhibits, museums, and other events or activities from which kids could acquire concepts outside their typical idea of studying. In doing so, you help them develop a keen sense of learning from anywhere they are, classroom, home, or elsewhere.
