Sometimes, when preparing lessons with their child, parents are driven by the idea of ending this stressful situation as quickly as possible.

Then moms and dads willingly suggest solutions to the problems and ask the control question "Got it?" The child nods his head contentedly and runs outside.

According to experts , you need to prepare lessons with your child correctly, but not all parents know how to do this. Here are some tips.

First, teach them to be independent.

This is the best quality that parents can instill at this stage. The child should form a habit - first lessons, then entertainment.

Start with the first grade. Explain how to prepare the workplace, what sequence to follow (for example, start with written subjects and end with oral ones).

Secondly, there must be rest.

Don’t push your child to do homework right away, especially if the school is near home.

Give yourself time to rest, come to your senses, and even relax. An overloaded brain is unlikely to work actively and solve even the simplest tasks.

Third, be realistic.

Don't expect your child to quickly sit down, solve a couple of problems and write down the exercises in a notebook in calligraphic handwriting.

Most likely, he will be distracted, ask questions, etc. We are all individuals, and therefore you should not stand and control every action.

This will make children nervous and make mistakes.

Fourth, hints

Don't rush to prompt the correct answer if the child doesn't know or doesn't understand. Especially don't shout or get upset.

Help solve the problem with the help of pictures and other guiding examples.

Fifth, mistakes

During the study, the child can make mistakes, and this is fair. Therefore, for the right decision you need to praise, and for mistakes - not scold, but support.

This is the only way you can help your child prepare homework and save your nerves.
