How would you answer? For our first blog entries we will offer some challenges that parents like you have faced and give answers to these situations but we want to know your success stories and the challenges you have had with your children. Here we go...
The Situation:
Parent: You look like you checked out the whole library.
Child: That’s because I have so much homework due tomorrow. I’ll never get it done.
Parent: Well...
One Answer:
If you want a child who gets their homework done, be a parent who helps them see how homework gets done.
Don’t just tell your child to get to work. Help your child learn that they can figure out how to get the work done. Help your child make a list of what needs to be done and set priorities on what needs to be done first. Set realistic goals together. Take the time and show your child how to manage time and break the big jobs into small, manageable tasks to accomplish it.
