You may have enrolled your child in one of the best schools in Bhayander or anywhere else in Mumbai, but encouraging lifelong learning in your own child, is something you need to strive for from the beginning.

Here are some simple ways you can follow:
Allow Children to Ask Questions
Children learn by asking questions. In fact asking questions is a sign of strength and intelligence. Superior thinkers never stop asking questions because they know that this is the best way to gain deeper insights.
However, people who don’t ask questions are either lazy or less confident about themselves or just think that they know it all.

Value Uniqueness in Your Child
It’s very important that you value your child’s interest and hobbies. By knowing your child well you will be able to discover how he learns, moreover, by doing so, you will be able to support him in ways that will make him love learning more.

Enroll Your Child in Activities That Interests Him and Helps Him Learn
Activities need not be restrained to classroom-learning only, it can be any other outdoor activity as well – ...
... a one that will expose your child to the bigger world outside the school. For Example: You can take your child on various educational trips – like visiting a zoo, or a planetarium etc; and do activities that will help him learn better.

Be a Role Model
Children look up to adults for encouragement and support. Hence you need to practice some good learning habits and set a right example for your child. Being a role model yourself is important; because it will help you inhibit the same positive learning traits in your child by just being at home.

Give Less Importance to Grades
Grades do matter; however, it’s okay if you give less importance to it. Being an ‘A’ grade holder doesn’t necessarily mean your child is much brighter than the other students. Whats important is the fact that your child understands facts and figures correctly, and is able to implement the given knowledge in his future growth.
