Kindergarten-5th
Grade: Sit them down at the table and do it with them.
Create a reward system. For example, for every assignment you get done you can
have a glass of soda. If you get 10 questions done, you don’t have to clean
your room tonight. For each question you get right, you can have a cookie. Use
some form of positive reinforcement.
6th
Grade-8th Grade: Probably the hardest to convince to
do homework. It feels like the best thing you can do is sit down and do it with
them every night. They’re most likely feeling overwhelmed, these are the years
their work begins to pile up, and they’re not quite used to it yet.
Just sit with them, have a talk about why they
don’t want to do it, and help them figure out a system to get it all done.
Maybe a reward system could work here as well. Get good Kids School
Supplies and if they finish all their math homework, you will pay
for them to go to the movies with their best friend. If they get all their work
done within this week, you will get them the new pair of shoes they always
wanted. Strive to be more age-appropriate, these children want to act more
similar to teens. Provide them some space.
9th
Grade-12th Grade: At this age, there’s not much you
can do. They become habitual to the workload, they most probably just want to
skip study and escape with buddies. Find a settlement. You can let them go out
today if they finish their homework right when they get home.
If none of that works, punishment might be the
way to go. I wouldn’t recommend taking away their phone or any of their stuff,
that’ll have a more adverse impact than positive. Don’t let them go anyplace
besides school for a week, don’t let them use the Xbox until all their task is
completed. If none of that works, failing a class or two will get their head on
straight. Of course, it’s not ideal, but they’re practically adults and at this
point, they’ll have to learn on their own.
So when you can also consider these range of
questions to help your kids work better in school:
?
Are the teaching materials
suitable for the ability level of the student?
?
Can the student relate to the
topic/subject being taught i.e. are they engaging the student?
?
Is the pace of the lesson appropriate
for the student?
?
Does the student have others
distracting him/her?
?
Does the student have relationship
problems at school or at home?
