Dr Deon van Wyk, author and child psychologist has released his updated popular book and parental guide Study without Stress.
Van Wyk said the book was a valuable toolkit for parents to assist their children in not only developing proper learning skills to meet the demands of scholastic performance, but also in coping with future demands in the marketplace.
“In a rapidly changing and increasingly challenging world, the basic survival skills for children centre on the ability to learn, effectively dealing with information, and surfing the knowledge-tsunami without being overpowered by it,” said the academic.
The book deals in detail with all the skills such as studying, exam writing, reading, mathematical and communication skills, including emotional IQ which, Van Wyk said, was needed by children to develop and cope in increasingly competitive schools, universities and working environments. He also provides various guidelines for parents to assist their children in cultivating a positive attitude towards learning, schoolwork and study.
“Undoubtedly, the volume and complexity of schoolwork our children have to deal with today are light-years removed from what we, as parents, had to deal with. It is, therefore, imperative that children, right from their earliest years, develop both a positive attitude towards studying and gathering knowledge and the right study methods to meet the demands of current syllabuses.”
A comprehensive list of stockists of the book is available on the Study without Stress Facebook page.
