In many families, parents are mistaken about helping their children do their homework. Some are overprotective of children, while others, on the contrary, are too critical of children and force them to do everything on their own.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not start working with your child immediately after he comes home from school. Give him a break from the educational process, let him devote some time to his favorite activities.
Step 2
Before starting to teach lessons with your child, organize a work environment (turn off the computer, TV, radio, etc.) and prepare him a comfortable workplace. Make sure that there is nothing on the desktop that would distract the child.
Step 3
Teach your child how to use his time rationally - warn him at what time you will begin to study with him, while this time cannot be transferred, and do not postpone. This will accustom the child to a certain routine and will contribute to the development of his time planning skills.
Step 4
Start teaching your child lessons with the most difficult subjects and gradually move on to easier ones. In order not to burden yourself or your child, take 10-minute breaks between preparing different items.
Step 5
Provide emotional support to your child, and do not make excessive demands beyond his or her age. The child needs to be encouraged, because it is self-confidence that is the key to success.
Step 6
Do not force your child to redo tasks that he did poorly on his own. It is much better if you fix the mistakes together, while subtly explaining why you need to do this.
Step 7
If, after you have explained the material to the child that he cannot understand, you see that he did not understand it, go to another task, and return to the explanation of this task later.
Step 8
If for some reason you were not able to do homework with your child, for example, you needed to go somewhere or you stayed late at work, when you come home, do not ask first of all if the child has done homework. Better ask how he is doing.
