Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.

    One of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design（设计、制定） a schedule that they keep to. Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} And it will also give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.

    Allow them to study in blocks（一段） of time. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Ideal study times are usually after dinner or right after school before dinner.

    Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive（被动的） activity. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    You'll also need to help your kids find the right place to study. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} After you've set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions. The input（投入） you give your children during study periods will help form a bond（纽带、关系） and make studying enjoyable.

    The Surprisingly Easy Trick That Can Help You Use Your Phone a Little Bit Less

    The first thing I do in the mornings is look at my phone. That's mainly because my phone is my alarm clock, but once my eyes are open and that screen is lit up in my hands, it's an awfully short trip to checking emails and perusing headlines.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}My emails that early in the morning are mainly junk, and the headlines won't change much before I've brushed my teeth and poured a cup of coffee, right?

    My wife says I'm addicted to my phone. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}I'm not terribly active on social media, but I do enjoy me some idle scrolling（enjoy playing the mobile phone）. And, wow, do these tech companies know how to keep those thumbs constantly swiping up.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} While I think we're pretty good about limiting her screen time, it would seem that technology has had its hooks in me from the start. So, I decided to try loosening my phone's grasp on my attention by switching the screen to black and white.

    Changing the display to black and white is very easy. In your iPhone's settings, choose General, then Accessibility. Next choose Display Accommodations, then Color Filters. Tap the toggle on and a list of filters appears. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    But no one wants to go through all this every time they want to turn color back on to check out an Instagram story. Clearly, you don't always want your screen to be black and white. After all, there will unavoidably be photos to view and videos to share. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}In the Accessibility menu, tap Accessibility Shortcut and choose Color Filters. Now, pressing the home button three times will switch your display to color, and then back with another three.

A. There's no reason for me to be doing this.

B. We've got a three-year-old child.

C. Choose Grayscale and you're all set.

D. It can help you use your phone a little bit less

E. I disagree, but I can definitely stand to spend less time looking at it.

F. Here comes a surprisingly easy trick.

G. That is what makes setting a shortcut necessary.

About 5% of all children experience anxiety over school. Not only can this affect their education, but it can also be difficult for you, especially if you have to take time off work because your child won't go to school. Luckily, there are tips that can help you.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Speak with your child to find out why he is anxious. Your child may have a clear-cut reason for not wanting to attend school and knowing what it is that may help you to ease his anxiety. If your child cannot or will not explain the issue, talk with his teacher, who may also be able to help you develop a solution. What also deserves your attention is any recent change at home that may be causing anxiety. Common changes can be such as moving, the loss of a pet, or a divorce. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

Encourage your child to return to school

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}He may lack the courage to go back to school. So, when you intend to encourage your child, don't ask your child how he feel or place emphasis on his anxiety. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}Wake your child up at the same time each morning, and encourage him to do the same things in the same order each day. If your child refuses to go to school one day, it's important to avoid anything that makes him want to do it again.

Promote self-confidence

This can be achieved in several ways. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Try to get him involved in a club or activity that he can do outside of school hours, or at least arrange a few play dates for your child to help him see that being with other kids is fun. So, your child gets the confidence in joining others. Apart from that, teach your child self-comfort techniques so he may benefit from knowing how to calm himself down. All these do help him build self-confidence.
