Knowledge - it's cooler ratings
Don't react too strongly to bad grades,Do not compare your child's achievements with his/her brothers, sisters or classmates. Remember that in any situation you are his/her ally. Be sure to praise him/her for good grades. Ask about bad grades, what prevented him/her from doing better. It is necessary to talk and do everything so that the child understands that he/she will be loved regardless of his/her grades. Then he/she will try, because no one wants to upset someone who loves you.
The table matters
Even if housing conditions do not allowprovide the child with a separate room, he needs his own space where he will store school supplies. Remember: if the child is comfortable to sit, there is a comfortable table and chair, a desk lamp, he will fidget less and be distracted from lessons simply because he is uncomfortable. Not to mention the correct posture and the preservation of the student's eyesight. By the way, any extraneous objects (phone, toys, pictures, etc.) should not distract the child from his assignments. All this should be removed from the table and out of sight.Photo: GettyImages
Cause time, fun is mandatory
Experts have found out:The most productive time for doing homework is from 15:00 to 18:00. After school, the child should rest for an hour and a half. If the break is longer, he will get tired and overexcited from games and entertainment. It is best for children who study in the second shift to do their homework in the morning. When doing homework, you need to take breaks: 15 minutes after 40 minutes of classes or 10 minutes after finishing lessons in one subject.
Work ahead of the curve
The child must understand that he can cope with it as soon as possible.with homework - it is in his interests. Do not delay homework until the last minute, that is, do not leave it until late in the evening. And motivate the child to do some tasks in advance - for example, what will be checked on Thursday, let him do on Monday or Tuesday. After all, it is so nice to discover later that some of the homework is already done!
Reach out for help
There is nothing worse than a snowball of misunderstood topics,unanswered questions, unfinished tasks. Don't leave your child alone with difficulties, help him figure it out. It's easy to do now: there are many educational programs, encyclopedias, manuals, films on the Internet. You just need to search. But let's note: the key word is help.

Estimate the amount of workload
If a child is busy all the time, nois lazy, but doing homework still drags on until night, think - maybe he is simply overloaded? After all, sometimes a schoolchild, in addition to school itself, also has chess and drawing, an English tutor, judo and ballroom dancing. The child does not have time to rest, as a result, he simply does not have enough energy for everything. Now even in a "regular" school they assign a lot of homework, so do not overdo it with additional classes.
Encourage, but know the measure
Often the easiest way is chosenMotivate your child to do their homework - material incentives. For some, this is money, for others, various purchases, sweets, the opportunity to play computer games or watch TV. Such incentives are fraught with danger - the child will manipulate you and in the future will do everything only for "payment". Praise your child for independently completed homework, good grades. In honor of this, you can arrange festive tea parties. The realization that his successes make the whole family happy will inspire the child to try harder in the future.
