Your child's homework should be based on what they were taught in class. This means that you need to read and understand your child's class notes and textbooks. The way things are taught today may be different than it was when you were in school. If you insist on solving the problem or completing a project in your own way, your child will end up having to unlearn your method. Also, it is important to not touch the pencil or project.

Do your homework with your child

There are many ways you can help your child prepare for their homework. One of the best ways is to break down the assignments into smaller parts and discuss what they will need to complete each one. The ability to place the assignments in the right order will help them feel more in control. It also encourages them to think about how they will complete the tasks. Discuss with your child the tasks they are most interested in each night and give them the supplies. If your child has a schedule that includes a lot of different assignments, consider using a homework planner or planning app. It will help your child see when they have to turn in their assignments. A wall calendar can help your child stay organised.

You should avoid distractions during homework and create a comfortable, quiet environment for your child to work in. Children younger than 5 years old may do better in a family area, while those with older children might need their own space.

Encourage your child, to reach out for assistance

If your child has difficulty with their homework, encourage them to consult their teachers or other resources. Teachers can often be reached during planning periods and may recommend additional resources. If your child asks for help, be sure to acknowledge their hard work. Your child should know that you are always there to help them.

It is okay to not get too frustrated when your child is having difficulties with homework. Your child should be allowed to struggle because he/she is developing valuable skills. Your child will learn resilience, perseverance and grit by allowing them to fail. It helps your child learn how to get help from others. This is a vital life skill. It is a great way for your child to be encouraged to ask for help.
