5 is a little young, don't you think? I hate to burst your bubble, but you can't make them study. You can preach and preach until you are blue in the face and if they are not interested they are not going to do it. However, your son may be one who like to learn and I hope he is. Makes your job so much easier. |

Let him enjoy his youth, Adolf. |

Once in a while, stress the importance of a good education. Make his idols as well-educated people whom you know in real life rather than celebrities seen only on the screen. Keep him away from bad company. Remember, this is a long-term process. Start it easy, don't force it down his throat or he will rebel. |

A great way to do it is with educational games in the computer, my parents had those for me and they helped me a lot, from adding and subtracting to reading the clock. I think it is a great way to make kids learn. The older the game the better, because new graphics may distract him from what the real meaning is, to learn. Also try to balance it, don't make it all about this games, make him like it not despise it. |

You can encourage him by showing interest in learning new things yourself. Inspire the desire to learn! Have a bedtime routine so he gets enough sleep. Give rewards for effort and good behavior. Demonstrating diciplined behavior and good time management this will teach him to be diciplined himself. Seriousness has little to do with learning, anyone can learn with dicipline. |

Right now he is too young to REALLY study - learning for him at this age should be fun (personally learning at any age should be fun) so just encourage him to explore the world around him - I'm sure he asks alot of questions as most 5 year olds do - try asking him questions - Like - i bet you cant tell me what 1 plus 2 is ? Or do you know what comes after the letter C? -Is it B,F,or D? -Make learning fun for him and he will want to get envolved. Try educational toys like Leap Frog or buy him educational activity/coloring books that will provoke him to think and problem solve - always support him and tell him he did his best even if he didn't quite get something - If at first you dont succeed try ,try again. Anyway just remember to keep his learning fun and fascinating -he is at the age of wonder and discovery in his youth - he has plenty of time to grow up into a hard studying scholar if thats want he is meant to be for now let him enjoy his childhood and dont pressure him or he will withdrawl. They grow up so fast - mine is almost 2 months and i miss her being a NEWBORN !!! ha ha
hope this helped |

Yes, reading to him is better than whipping him. Also at 5 years old, you need to help him study. Funny, though, I don't remember my son having to study when he was 5. The main thing is to make learning fun! If he has trouble concentrating, get him tested for hearing (By a licensed audiologist), ADD, OCD, etc. He may be bored or just might have trouble hearing and/or concentrating due to becoming distracted by other noises, others talking, or even his own thoughts. |

I have 3 children, they all are honor students. The best way to encourage him to study is to show by example. |

.... you people are nuts... HE'S 5!!!... let him be a child while he still has time... and then maybe he wont burn out as quickly and maybe... just maybe he'll actually want to learn unstead of feel like stuff is being crammed down his throat...
worked for me... i threw a fit when i got home from my first day of kindergarten because they didnt teach me how to read... my parents never forced me to study or do my homework and i got a 30 on my ACT... ya i guess that's probably a natural brightness but i also love to learn... if i wasnt so lazy it'd be higher... |

tell him how much it means to his future and say that he might not be able to do the job he wants if he doesn't |

Start reading to him every night. Make him want to learn, ask him questions about the world he might have interest in. Don't pressure him to be the best, just his best. he may try to rebel against any negative responses. If all else, go with what you feel is right. |

Settle down people! I think he means how can he start to show his son now good study habits that will grow with him.
I say lead by example! Adapt it to him now though, like I have to study this so I feel better.. or something.. I am sure you know what your son will react to. Good luck! Sorry people don't comprehend.

Meh...when I was that age I did it because my parents convinced me that it was fun. Reverse psychology sort of thing like "don't eat too many carrots or you'll get taller than me!"
If that doesn't work, when my brother was 5 or so (since it didn't work on him), we used these "good behavior" charts. The way it worked was that if he got a certain number of smilies he'd get a prize. You can either buy the charts or make them up in Excel (left to write you have the day of the week, top to bottom you list a chore, then if he does it, put a smilie in that square, if not, either put an 'x' or a frown or something of the sort). When he reaches 'n' smilies (depends on the chores and the prize so I'll not offer a number), he gets some sort of prize. |

When my son was that age, I sat down with him every afternoon and we read his reading homework, and anything else he had to do. I did it with him. He is now 8 and knows that studies is more important that playing. |
