Is your child having trouble getting started with homework?
Don't rush to scold your child! Don't accuse him of laziness and unwillingness to study!
Understand that your child is tired after school and has no desire to continue solving problems and cramming the next paragraph.
Many parents will probably think: "What should we do then? We can't allow our children not to do their homework!"
Of course, it is impossible to make serious concessions: a boy or girl may seriously fall behind the school curriculum.
Therefore, it is better to somehow persuade the child to “sit down and do his homework.”
But how to do it without psychological pressure? Just pay attention to two recommendations.
Alternating work and rest
First of all, don't force your child to do homework right after he/she returns home from school. Let the child rest a little and take a break from studying.
Secondly, prepare your child in advance for the fact that there will be short breaks.
Say the following: “A five-minute rest is allowed every half hour.”
Believe me, in this case the child will be much more willing to start doing homework.
Invite the child to "become a teacher"
There is one trick that turns doing homework into an exciting game.
Invite a student to “become a teacher”: let him explain to you (“the student”) this or that topic and show you how to complete various tasks.
The learning process will become more interesting, and this guarantees that the child will acquire and consolidate knowledge.
For reference
Homework is a task assigned by a teacher to a student for independent completion after lessons (classes).
