Today, nearly every child studies for the sake of being 'forced' to study. To study was not a choice. It was a compulsory action. The child grows up studying without knowing the real meaning of studying.
This is very sad, because it is human nature to seek meaning in order to motivate oneself for excellence. For the child, the only motivation to study was the fear of punishment. Hence, it is very important to design the right learning habits for the child.
If it is designed properly, the child will find the motivation to study from within himself/herself. This is in contrary to the many external pressures (or in common language, stress) that any child faces today. If the design is correct, learning becomes a fun process. Most importantly, learning becomes meaningful to the child and he/she will find the urge to learn even till old ages.
This design that i am speaking of, it is not a universal design. Each child will need a different design. It can be illustrated by shoes. To a tennis player, he/she wears tennis shoes. To a cross-trainer, he/she needs cross-training shoes. To a basketball player, he/she needs basketball shoes.
After determining on the right design, we must also take note of the capacity of the design. A P2 student will learn at a different rate as a P6 student. Back to the analogy of shoes, a 25-year-old tennis player might not fit into a 14-year-old tennis player.
The purpose of The Light Bulb Effect is to discover the right design of learning for every individual student. It is not too late to change your child's learning design. Let's embark on this journey together.
