Many children dread doing their homework and would rather be playing, listening to music or watching television. As a parent or guardian you should ensure that your child’s homework is done and done in the right way. For this to work out you need to have a routine, make sure that the child does their homework at a regular time everyday. This should be preferably after they have gotten home, had a shower and something to eat so that they can be fresh for the task. During this time you should ensure that all forms of entertainment are switched off so that they can concentrate on their studies you should also make sure that there are no distractions in the place where they are working from and that it is comfortable. Most schools have a diary where the children’s homework is written down. Go through the diary to make sure the child has done all that they are supposed to do. If the school does not provide diaries you can buy one for your child and talk to their teacher to make sure that all work that they are given is written down.
If your child is having difficulties with their homework you should try to find out the reasons behind this. You can get extra tuition for the child is they are a bit slow or find out the best teaching methods which can help them understand better. To further motivate your kids you can give them presents if they finish their work well and succeed in school. Make sure the child has all that he needs in terms of books and equipment such as pens and paper so that they do not get an excuse for not doing their home work. When they are through go through the work with them to make sure it is done in a proper manner.
