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: Have you finished your homework?
Child: I only have one more level on this game and then I will do it.
Parent: So that’s a no?
Child: There’s plenty of time. Can’t I do it later?
Parent: Well...
One Answer:
If you want a child who is responsible, be a parent who gives them responsibility.
Don’t just tell your child to get their homework done. Ask when they are going to get it done. Give them the responsibility for scheduling their time by letting them plan their work. Then follow through and make sure they stick to their schedule. Be supportive of any changes. Let your child see that their homework is their responsibility and it is not optional.
