What to do if the child doesn't want to do homework

For children who are already in school, sometimes they cannot calm down and do not want to do their homework. Many parents will face this problem and sometimes feel helpless. They cannot hit or scold their children. At this time, certain education is needed. Good education can enable children to gradually develop good study habits. At this time, children must not be allowed to develop a rebellious mentality, and they must pay attention to methods.

What to do if your child doesn't want to do homework

Before talking about the method, we need to know that the purpose of parents helping their children with their homework is to enable children to develop the ability of self-examination and independent thinking, so that they will be able to complete their homework independently in the future. We must not put the cart before the horse and ignore the child's dominant position.

It is not difficult to get children to complete their homework well every day. The key is for parents and children to form a tacit understanding and cooperation. Here are some tips for parents:

1. Three must-haves for homework

Relatively quiet environment and complete learning supplies. A quiet heart! (If the child can't calm down, forcing him to do homework will only backfire)

"Homework Plan Book": Let the children record the homework assigned by the teacher every day according to different subjects. Remind and check in time. If it is completed on the day, mark it with a √. If it is not completed, you can add it to the subsequent study schedule.

In the "Error Correction Book", you can record the questions you don't know how to do and the questions you did wrong, so that you can review and revise them later and reflect on why you don't know how to do them or why you did them wrong!

2. Accompanying homework "4 steps"

Estimation: Let the child estimate the time to complete each homework first, and let the child do it according to his or her own schedule. Parents should remind the child in time when the homework is completed on time. If the child fails to complete the homework on time, help the child find the reason. If the child is procrastinating, give the child a certain buffer time to continue to complete the homework, set some rewards for the child, and motivate the child to complete the homework as soon as possible!

Checking: After your child has completed his homework for a subject, give him some time to check it himself, within 5-10 minutes. If the child is sure that he has completed the work correctly, the parents can check it carefully.

Arrange rest: According to the child’s academic workload, arrange rest time reasonably to allow the child to switch thinking from different subjects.

Summary: After checking all the homework of the child, if the child has completed it well, praise him/her in time; if there are mistakes, be sure to patiently help the child analyze the wrong questions; if the mistakes are caused by carelessness, you can set some small punishments for the child, such as reducing the play time, making the child do some housework or some physical activities, etc. Let your children remember the importance of examination!
