Hi,
It’s very common for children today to get pulled into screens, especially when there’s little internal motivation for studies. The key is to first understand why she’s disengaged, boredom, fear of failure, lack of confidence, or even emotional needs, rather than just push for study.
A shift happens when we make learning feel rewarding, not like a chore. Small wins, curiosity-based tasks, and even involving her in decisions can help. But if this disinterest is persistent, a deeper behavioural consult can reveal what’s really going on beneath the surface.
Happy to guide you further if needed. You’re not alone in this.

Involve her in designing her own daily timetable — this gives her a sense of control and responsibility.Positive reinforcement works wonders. Acknowledge her effort rather than results — e.g., “You focused for 10 minutes today — great job!”Help her connect education with her goals — e.g., if she loves animals, show her how studying science can help her become a vet.
Next Steps
Building interest takes time, consistency, and lots of love. You’re already doing great by seeking help — keep supporting her gently, and you’ll see positive changes

Hi,
Supporting a 10-year-old girl who is disinterested in studies and spends a lot of time on her mobile can be challenging, but with patience and positive reinforcement, you can help her develop a better interest in self-study. Start by understanding her preferences and interestsâtry to connect her studies to topics she enjoys or find engaging. Create a structured routine that balances study time with leisure, and introduce short, fun learning activities or educational games to make learning enjoyable. Encourage her to set small, achievable goals and praise her efforts to boost her confidence. Additionally, limit her mobile usage gradually and involve her in selecting study materials or activities she finds interesting. Spend quality time talking to her, showing support and understanding, which can motivate her to develop a positive attitude towards learning. Remember, patience and encouragement are key, and making learning a fun, rewarding experience will help her build interest over time.

When studies feel like pressure and screens feel like relief, children naturally drift. The goal isn’t to fight the mobile—it’s to make learning feel rewarding again. One effective approach? Use her screen time to your advantage—let her create a short video explaining what she learned. It blends her world with yours. For more such practical strategies tailored to busy parents, feel free to connect with me.

Please consult a psychologist who specialises in family therapy, who can educated you all as a family and develop methods that can help you all cope up with your family needs as well as emotional well-being and help you with your day to day work. It is very important that your daughter needs to learn to schedule her everyday life and follow a timetable. Some parenting strategies would include being a good role model to our children so they can follow what they see. Spending quality time with family will teach values and the importance of family and develop emotional bonding between the family members. Please connect with a psychologist.
