October 30, 2009, Newsletter Issue #116: Tips for Getting Kids to do Homework
1
Tip of the Week
Many children come home from school with homework the last thing on their minds. However, it is essential for a parent to make sure that homework gets completed. What can parents do to make sure homework is completed?
Setting a time for your children to complete homework is a must. Designate a daily time, let's say from 4:00p.m-5:00p.m. Do not sway from this time, and make sure someone is there to help with any questions.
Once you have set a time and discussed the time with your children, make sure they know that they will not be allowed to do anything else until his or her homework is completed. Children should not be allowed to watch television, play outside or play games until homework is completed.
Monitoring homework completion is important. Often times a child will rush through the homework assignment in order to go outside. Parents or caregivers should go over the work with the child and make sure it is done correctly, neatly and completely. A child should not be allowed to say he is done with homework until it is done completely and appropriately.
Make sure your child is doing his or her homework in a quiet spot with no distractions. Such distractions may be: a radio, a television, or a ringing phone. This can interfere with homework completion. Find a spot where your child can work without interruptions or distractions.
Sometimes it may take some good old-fashioned rewards to get your child to do homework. There is nothing wrong with this, as long as parents remember to wean the children from the rewards once it has shown to successful in getting the child to complete homework. Perhaps set a homework goal, and once a month if the goal is reached, the child gets to pick something special to do.
