How To End Homework Hassles

Do you feel sad seeing your child struggling with his homework?? We all do. But our responsibility does not end there. Feeling sad for the child and thinking we cannot do anything about it as he has to do his homework all by himself is definitely not the solution. We can help our child always by making it a simple and enjoyable task for him. Wish to know how!

Be a part of his assignment: It is not advisable to do your child’s homework but you can always be by their side. Sit with your child when he does his homework so that he feels confident that someone is there to help him in case of any problems that he might have and the sole burden does not lie on him.

Divide responsibilities: Divide responsibilities with your spouse. You can take some subjects and the others can be taken up by your spouse. This will not put pressure on you alone and you will feel happy teaching the subjects that you are good at. Everybody is not equally good at everything. If say, maths scares you then let your husband take up maths while you teach the other subjects.

Set the timetable: It is always easy for you and your child if you have a set time table for the day and also for each subject during the day. If you know which subject you have to teach each day, you will waste less time planning for it.

Don’t make mountains out of a mole hill: Remember and also keep reminding your child that it is just a bit of home work that he has to complete which is not a big deal. Don’t keep repeating” Have you done your homework “or “homework still not done” instead say” first complete your homework and then relax” making it appear like a normal and simple task.
