pencil. You may find yourself wondering, why is this so difficult?

time.

can work through the problems. Outbursts, rages, and strife become a way of life (an emotionally
unhealthy way of life). Instead, your child can read a book or a magazine in their room or work on
longer-term assignments. The easier material will seem to go faster once fatigue begins to set in. If
your child chooses not to study enough and they get a failing grade, that’s the natural consequence
for their behavior. All these expectations can put a lot of pressure on your child and may cause him
to become burned out and want to find an escape. When you deal with the teaching staff, it is vital to
do so in the right way. However, the frustration with not understanding the subject matter correctly
could lead to a total disconnect. It is totally exhausting and you have to be on your A game all the

adults do. Once you really get this, you won’t be so anxious about your youngster’s behaviors,
actions, and decisions. This involves talking with the child in detail about what will be happening,
why, and what her role and expected behaviors will be. Often, the motivation comes after the child
has had a taste of success, and this system sets them up for that success. It’s something you have to
work towards improvement slowly. How many more temper tantrums and arguments will you

know the purpose of homework and what your child’s class rules are. It is best to do the homework
earlier in the evening as this will then allow them to switch to free time mode. Ask your youngster

adjustments. I went through that with my first born, and now again with my youngest. For some
parents, effective encouragement to get your kids to do their homework will also be about changing
your own approaches to homework enforcement. Look at it this way: when your child is in school,
they’re in a classroom where there aren’t a lot of distractions. Consistently adhering to the homework
time structure is important to instill the homework habit. He is going to be less likely to be motivated
to work when there is chaos all around him. Also, tell them about what you do at work. 18. Offer
snacks to keep your youngster “fueled-up” for the work. 19. Pre-teach. It’s easier to prevent negative

notebook or laptop and starts his work. Others claim that they don’t have homework, but then the

than focusing on the negatives, and it helps to remove the tension for you, along with any inclination
to tear your hair out. Instead, aim to facilitate the homework process as much as possible. Those who

have different things to offer this world. Many children need your presence to stay focused and
disciplined. They intend to do what they want to do when they want to do it, and homework just
becomes another battlefield. Building a positive relationship with your child is your best parenting
strategy. Help your child love learning rather than demanding he earn good grades by instilling fear

the most effective is to spend regular one-on-one time with your child doing what your child wants
to do. They intend to do what they want to do when they want to do it, and homework just becomes

home as the place to do schoolwork. How can we, as parents, handle it when a child refuses to do
homework. Take the phone and laptop away and eliminate electronics from the room during study
time. At one time or another, it’s probably resulted in bribery, disagreements, frustration, and a

When I had parents in my office, I would take these concepts and show them how they could make
it work for their families in their own homes. I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I didn't think it
was going to be this hard. Of course I try not to talk bad about homework in front of my children,
because that would make it even more difficult to get them to do it. Don’t worry, it’s not hard, it’s
just about taking a moment to work it through. The solution is not removing extracurricular activities
that are healthy or motivating or valued. Having a designated homework space will create boundaries
within the physical household and help your child step away from homework and relax. Rather than
giving a lecture, just maintain the system that enables them to get their work done. Such problems
seem trivial to an adult, worried about mortgage repayments and ageing parents, but to a child they
are momentous. Building a positive relationship with your child is your best parenting strategy.
Often, the motivation comes after the child has had a taste of success, and this system sets them up
for that success. If he or she has been making comments about being thick or stupid, then they are
probably struggling with schoolwork. And most crucially, stay optimistic and don’t get upset with
them. If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed by “homework battles,” speak to a professional.

faith that he'd find his way. I do this through individual or group coaching so students achieve
success in life, school, career readiness and their social endeavors. The changes began when his
mother and I separated; my son was 12yo. In fact, it actually overstimulates the brain and makes it
harder for a child to learn and retain information. Done, not only can I relate to my kids, but I've
pointed out that not getting their work done will make them feel bad bad enough, and that that's
why we should work on getting it done together, so they have something to be proud of. Let your
child take a short break if they are having trouble keeping their mind on an assignment. The more
you talk to them, the more likely they are to let something slip, maybe without even realising it. Offer
encouragement, set reasonable deadlines, and secure them a quiet and distraction-free workspace. So,
focusing on getting your son or daughter to “change” will not work long-term and will most often
turn into a power struggle. Secondly, make sure you find a tutor who is a good fit for your child.
