What Can I Do To Help My Little Sister To Study?

My little sister doesn't like to study. Every time my parents tell her to study, she doesn't do so. My parents keep telling her to study, but nothing happens. This argument escalates into yelling for both parties leaving my little brother and I in the middle. I tried to help my sister, but she didn't think that I was helping her well enough and got mad at me. What can I do to motivate her to study?

    Maybe you can help her study by making a game out of it. You can help her make flashcards, or play concentration with vocab words. You can play math games with her to help her learn her math facts.

    People learn in different ways. What worked for you and your brother for studying might not work for her, and your parents might not recognize that. I think it's really great of you to be concerned for her. She's so lucky to have a sister like you.

    Positive reinforcement. Have your parents give her a reward, like she gets to do something special and fun, if she studies a certain amount of time each week. Don't force her to study, because that will only make everyone angry, therefore causing the yelling to begin.

    Tell your parents that a positive reward for studying could help, something like having a friend over or for a sleep over.Not food or presents otherwise she will expect presents all the time.

    tell her the stable facets of reading and that she will have a greater advantageous destiny later if she analyze. yet provide up forcing her to do her study or provide up screaming because of the fact in case you and your mom and dad save doing this she can hate it much greater. provide her some area and tell her the stable and undesirable issues
