First of all, moms and dads need to explain why a schoolchild needs to do homework.

If he doesn't know why he's sitting over his notebooks every day, he definitely won't have motivation.

When communicating, you must not raise your voice, but you must answer questions similarly and calmly.

Next, you need to observe how the child completes the tasks. It is necessary to take into account his character, temperament, as well as the ability to concentrate on tasks.

If difficulties arise with the latter, then additional exercises should be prepared that will help him better concentrate on tasks.

At the same time, you should not rush your child when doing homework. This can only lead to additional stress and negatively affect the quality of understanding the material.

You can try to teach him time management techniques to dose lessons by days of the week. At the same time, you don’t need to overload the kid. It is important that he has at least one completely free evening from lessons.

It is also necessary to teach the child to plan time correctly by example. In addition, do not forget that sometimes he needs hints, since little ones are often absent-minded.

The workspace should be comfortable and free from distractions.

It is also worth adding that you should not refuse help. This does not mean that you need to do everything for the child. It is enough to explain the topic in more detail, help to understand using examples.
