How to help child to do his homework
December 12, 2008
Undoubtedly kids, have too much on their hands these days with tuitions, hobby classes and school work. but you will be surprised to read that doing homework not only enhances a child’s learning capacity, but also teaches essential skills that they need to succeed in their school and in their life such as problem solving, memory-goal setting, attention span, organization etc. so here are some ways by which you can help your child to do his or her homework in an effective manner so that he or she gains most out of them!
When you are with you child helping in his or her homework, always keep in mind that your role is that of a ‘helper’. Sometimes in your quest to help your child succeed, you may get carried away and end up doing assignments yourself! But do you know that doing such a thing, you rob away your child’s self-esteem. It deprives him or her of those powerful, ‘I did it’ moments. So only help them!
If your child is sulking or cribbing while doing homework, it puts you too in a bad mood as well. So, make efforts to lighten the atmosphere for both of you. Think of interspersing the conversation with generous amount of praise and encouragement. Be with your child till he or she completes the homework. Always remember that only way to make your child value effort is by your continuous emphasis on ‘it’s not good enough to start, but to finish it also on time’.
If things don’t work in a good way as you thought of, then consider getting a tutor. If you really think that homework battles are taking a toll on your health and time, there’s no shame in hiring tutor for your kids.
