According to Stanford researchers your attitude towards learning might matter as much as your IQ! Positivity increases your ability to conquer subjects more efficiently. It isn’t surprising that students like subjects that they are good at, but it is surprising that those students that had a better attitude towards a subject in general, were better at the subject. It feeds off each other, you get good marks in something you will like it more, and if you like it more you will do better. Parents can’t program their kids to love math, for instance, but they can foster positive attitudes towards school subjects in general to improve their performances.

Key Takeaways:

• A new study has found that chilren who like learning actually learn better.
• The study found that kids who like math had a more active area of the brain associated with learning.
• One way to help your child is to encourage them to like a subject.

“It appears it’s not just that children like subjects they’re good at. It’s also that liking a subject helps students’ brain actually work better.”
