When a student's study habits are not working, a change is necessary. It is likely that the student is distracted by the television and the children and is unable to fully concentrate. The quality of study may be more problematic than the quantity. The scenario does not suggest eyestrain. Active listening is important but may not be sufficient to reduce study hours.
