Plan lessons and correct papers. Spend your weekends doing this instead of enjoying a recreational opportunity with your family. Provide concrete, real, and relevant learning materials, such as typically found in a home library, kitchen, workshop and garden shed. Limit learning materials to primarily textbooks and workbooks. Provide opportunities for your children to play both indoors and outdoors.
Limit play opportunities to so children have more time for academic tasks.
Support pro-social behavior by providing opportunities for children to learn through actual social experiences in the home and community. Lecture on pro-social skills, but provide little opportunity for social interaction. Reward learning with prizes or other forms of extrinsic motivation. Model empathy, caring, passion for learning, enthusiasm, love for each child at all times. Allow children to achieve success as its own reward.
