If you are determined to help your child do their homework, be sure to have some creativity and patience to turn this very painful activity into a fun and interesting way to learn and communicate. Imagine that you and your child are going on a trip from the country “I don’t know, I don’t know how, I can’t,” to the country “I know everything!”, And in this journey you take the role of a guide, not a traveler. To facilitate your difficult mission, you can turn to the following rules, which can really bring benefit, not harm.
Instructions
Step 1
Do your homework with your child, not yourself. Try to convince your child that doing homework voluntarily and conscientiously makes classwork easier to understand and complete. Also explain to him that through doing his homework, he understands and learns everything that he could not or did not have time to ask at school.
Step 2
Do only what has been asked. There is no particular need to overload the student with all sorts of additional tasks. Remember that the child has been at school for several hours, after which he still has to come home and do his homework. His life shouldn't be all about school assignments.
Step 3
Do your homework without haste, hassle, censure, or reproach. Always look for reasons to praise your child, and if you fail, give them similar assignments.
Step 4
Don't start with hard tasks, make them harder gradually. Back up every step that the child makes right, as it builds the confidence that the child needs.
Step 5
Complicate tasks when the previous ones have been successfully completed. Do not rush to get the result, because it will come anyway.
Step 6
If there is a need to make some adjustments in the course of work, make them immediately, as the child may simply "memorize" the mistake, but do not tell him what he is doing wrong or that it is wrong.
Step 7
To do homework effectively, you need to work with your child constantly, but not for long. Also, try to make sure that the work is not hard, tedious, or incomprehensible to the child.
