Not all children do their homework with enthusiasm. This often leads to family scandals, in which even the parents of the schoolchild start arguing with each other.

All this is fundamentally wrong and does not solve the problem, but only creates new ones.

Here are some tips for parents who don't know how to cope with school-age children.

Instructions for parents

First, deal with the problem. There is no need to force them to do their homework, especially since it may suddenly turn out that the child simply has not learned and does not understand the school curriculum.

Secondly, you need to alternate between studying and rest. It makes no sense to make your child sit down to do homework right after school.

Until the brain has a rest, it will be stubborn and slow to think. A walk in the fresh air will do good.

Thirdly, think about how well your child has developed such qualities as independence and self-organization. Make a schedule with your child, work on habits.

Fourthly, eliminate the presence of external irritants - music, TV and gadgets. They prevent you from concentrating on the main thing.

Fifth, help your child do homework only when he asks. Do not prompt, force the correct solution yourself, starting with the easy and gradually increasing the level of difficulty.
