Encourage Pleasure Reading
Reading is the best way to increase one’s G.K. One does not have to inculcate a habit of mugging up general knowledge books, in their little ones. Reading in general, be it fiction or non-fiction, in direct or indirect ways help not just the child improving his comprehension and language, but also gaining general knowledge too. Reading helps in invoking general inquisitiveness and ignites an interest in learning more.
Tittle:-Simple Habits To Improve Your Child’s General Knowledge
Play Interactive Educational Games
When play and education is mixed together, children willingly engage in the process. While studying may seem like a forced burden, they will thoroughly enjoy playing games like ‘ATLAS,’ ‘Hop on the World,’ etc. which will make them unconsciously get done with their daily dose of G.K. Class.
Use the Idiot Box Intelligently
Television can be a great medium to impart general knowledge to your kids in an entertaining manner. Keep a watch on what the child watches.A habit of watching channels like Discovery, National Geographic etc. as well educational broadcasts on Doordarshan can greatly help in expanding your child’s G.K.
Create A Healthy Atmosphere for Discussion
Encourage discussions at home. On dining table, during meals or tea-time. Talk about the important events happening around, encourage your child to be a part of the discussions in their own capacities and clear their doubts and answer their questions. It is most often seen that a family where the parents have deep interest in world affairs and have an exchange of ideas and opinions quite frequently, have the kids too growing up with excellent general awareness.
Newspaper Reading
This is by far the best way of improving one’s general knowledge. Be it adults or kids, anyone who develops a habit of reading the newspaper everyday, will definitely have something or the other to talk about, no matter which random topic is picked up. So, if this habit is inculcated early on in life, the child will reap its benefits all along his life. Have a child friendly magazine or newsletter subscribed for your kid, and encourage them to religiously read it thoroughly.
