Self-learning means that instead of having the problem\u00a0explained to them, the child has the ability and perseverance to learn on their own using the worksheets while relying on their previous knowledge. The child\u2019s learning and ability will be stronger because of the critical thinking they are practicing.<\/p>\n<p>A child who is strong in their ability to self-learn will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>be willing to try new problems on their own<\/li>\n<li>be more resilient on challenging material<\/li>\n<li>learn the concept better on the first try<\/li>\n<li>make deeper connections between exercises, topics, and even other subjects<\/li>\n<li>be unafraid of making mistakes and understand that they will learn from the attempt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kumon Instructors receive specialized trained to teach their students to self-learn, but self-learning is a skill that can also be learned and reinforced at home.

Explaining the solution\u00a0should\u00a0be\u00a0a last resort if they can\u2019t\u00a0find\u00a0the\u00a0answer\u00a0from repeated attempts and they won\u2019t be able to proceed without that understanding. Explaining\u00a0the solution too quickly\u00a0can reduce the opportunity\u00a0for\u00a0self-learning\u00a0to occur\u00a0and it may undermine their knowledge of the subject.<\/p>\n<p>Above all else, when your child demonstrates even a little self-learning or perseverance, praise them to acknowledge their hard work!<\/p>\n<p>Self-learning can take months or even years to develop fully and your child\u2019s enjoyment of learning shouldn\u2019t be compromised by too much pressure to self-learn. It\u2019s a balance\u00a0that takes practice.\u00a0When your child is able to use what they have learned to sit with a new or difficult problem until they can resolve it, they will be prepared for many of the obstacles life will throw at them.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about self-learning and the Kumon Method, visit our pages on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/ca-en\/how-kumon-works\" aria-label=\"How Kumon Works\">How Kumon Works<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the greatest benefits of Kumon study is \u201cself-learning.\u201d\u00a0But it can\u2019t always be easily identified and knowing how to cultivate it takes practice.
