If your child tells you she is being bullied, and the teacher replies that she has never seen any sign of
this, that your daughter seems happy, or insinuates that she is just making it up to get out of school,
you have a right to be angry (though, to be fair, bullying isn’t always easy to spot). Often, the
motivation comes after the child has had a taste of success, and this system sets them up for that
success. They turn on and off the behavior depending on who they are with and what they want. As
I began to see this, I began to have more faith knowing that when the going got tough he would step
up and take charge. This may feel really hard for you, especially in a time when parents feel a sense
of self-responsibility about homework, but it’s absolutely vital that your child learns as early as
possible that the consequences for not completing homework rest on them, not on you. If they do,
the shock of returning to a school environment may be too much and trigger a new bout of truancy.
For many people, already struggling with ageing parents, stressful careers, and mounting debts, it is
the last thing they need. I thought he would just have to get in a routine of doing it. More If the kid
has not mastered the concept then the homework becomes the parents job to re-teach the material. I
cared about my grades an I took it for granted thinking they will feel the same way. Homework has
made it difficult to grow a relationship with our children beyond the confines of what the teachers
are dictating. All of which I have done as a teen and well into my adult years. What can we do when
our child refuses to do Homework Start by trying to be a team. Some learning won’t stick as well
unless kids give it more practice and the classroom environment isn’t necessarily going to provide
adequate time for more practice. It may take several seeks for the routine to become a habit. Persist.
By having a regular study time, you are demonstrating that you value education. Let that person take
on the homework monitoring responsibilities. She is a lot more inclined to follow a plan that she
came up with herself. 5. Getting your kids to listen to you is primarily about setting up the conditions
under which they choose to do so. Often, I just wasn’t equipped to offer the help he needed. We
here from many caregivers in similar situations, so you're not alone in your frustration. And always
seek professional help if you suspect Asperger’s, social phobia, or some other learning difficulty or
mental illness. And when their friends come to visit, make an effort to be as polite and approachable
as possible. Sorry, but I can't wait until they are finished with school and hopefully moving out of
state to hopefully a college career. Alas, it’s not as simple as waving a wand, but there are some
methods for encouraging your kids to develop and stick to a regular homework routine. Tell them of
the consequences but don’t put pressure on them. For example, tell your would-be actress daughter
that she won’t be able to memorize her lines if she’s not a stellar reader. Help your child experience
the value of getting the most important things done first. Like I said - the entire day goes on like this
with everything except what he wants to do. Each family and its dynamic is different, and so are the
kids. Concentrate on assisting by sending positive invitations. Teachers are usually not very happy
with students if they don’t do homework.
We have a standard homework time at our house, with a timer and everything. I think what tortures
me is thinking his choices now as an immature person can limit his options for the future. And always
seek professional help if you suspect Asperger’s, social phobia, or some other learning difficulty or
mental illness. By the end of it, your kid hates this world, and most certainly hates you, too. Too
much parent involvement can prevent homework from having some positive effects. Rather than
giving a lecture, just maintain the system that enables them to get their work done. Personally, I
struggled with this all through high school. I don't like going to bed crying and knowing that he is
crying too. Find someone else or talk to the teacher about how your child can get the help they need.
It certainly wasn’t our intention but that was the result. Someone with Asperger’s Syndrome, for
example, would find school a bewildering, terrifying place, as would a child with social anxiety or
an avoidant personality disorder. We did Parent Child Interactive Therapy (PCIT) at the Mailman
Center (Jackson Hospital Miami). He's been in school for a month now and its a fight every single
day after school. In this way, you set mutually shared ground rules for getting homework done,
ground rules that you can call on to remind them when they’re slipping, or to praise them for when
they’re meeting them. Having your child do the hard work first will mean he is most alert when
facing the biggest challenges. You can cajole, plead, yell, threaten, bribe, and jump up and down with
your face turning blue but none of this negative and mutually exhausting behavior will make your
kids do anything. If they’re producing messy homework, try to catch them in the process and
encourage a neater effort. Usually kids don’t do homework because it’s boring. All of which I have
done as a teen and well into my adult years. If your child is doing an hour of homework, have them
take a 5-minute break every half-hour so that they can get up, have a snack, and stretch their legs.
Well if the kid has mastered the concept, homework is unnecessary. It does not mean that you have
raised a perfect child who has made all the right choices. And they don’t learn their math or science
or whatever it is they failed. Have you noticed that most of these tactics don’t work. I knew it wasn't
going to be easy but I didn't think it was going to be this hard. Nobody appreciates the nosy, stand-
over person, and kids are no different. Embrace your child for who he is, what he is good at, AND
what he needs a little extra help at. For starters, I facilitated a transfer to a Charter School, realizing
that he needed more individualized attention than that which a public school could provide. We
simply cannot do this much work because of our issues. Place that expectation back on your kid or
you’ll suffer the consequences of having to keep constant checks on everything, be at the receiving
end of your kid’s irritation, and end up realizing that all you’ve really taught your kid is that you’ll
manage her affairs rather than the other way around.
They turn on and off the behavior depending on who they are with and what they want. Sure, they’ll
respond to immediate threats of withdrawing privileges and you standing over them until it’s done,
but this will not turn into reformed homework behavior, and who has time to stand over them instead
of getting other tasks done. Don't make it seem like you are encouraging not turning in the work, but
your adolescent will look at you differently when he knows that you were just like him at his age.
29. Your message to your children (which does not require long sit down conversations) is, “Your job
is to take care of your responsibilities, which includes getting your homework done. Offer then to

for ice cream. You can always make suggestions, but ultimately it’s your child’s job to do their
assignments. Invite your child to choose the kitchen table or a spot in his or her own room. If you’re

really fit (like cross fit) and work out like a marine. Discuss incentives with your child beforehand
because the rewards can serve as motivation for your student. Neither my husband nor I can do More

yelling match. Meet with the teachers at the beginning of the school year and stay in touch as the
year progresses. In this way, you are providing structure that your teen can’t provide for himself. We
all live on the same schedule, if one of them finishes homework early they get the reward of extra
quiet reading time-my kids are ALL book worms. This whole website is about listening and
empowering parents and treating kids like the small respected human beings that they are. However,
this year, the workload is heavier with CBAs (curriculum-based assessment) to do as well as other
schoolwork. In fact, for many kids, it’s what turns them around. Short-term consequences like this
are very effective. Below are some highly effective techniques you can start implementing that will
gr. And you can help by keeping the evening mealtime as regular as possible. Furthermore, when we
say something like this should be easy for you, they only feel worse. Given that there is still
homework as a reality--I'd like advice on when to have child do homework AFTER sports or
extracurricular activity. We have to be very disciplined with ourselves - a healthy body is a healthy
mind - we cannot let up at all. Make it very clear that if they don’t do their homework, then the next
part of their night does not begin. But don’t allow electronics during the break—electronics are just
too distracting. Some tutors are better with visual learners, while others are better with auditory
learners. Don’t be cruel (especially not if they are being bullied), but don’t let them play video games
and watch TV all day. If you keep yourself informed, then you won’t be surprised when report cards
come out.
Or maybe they have matured faster than their peers and find the atmosphere unbearable. And, as you
can see, there are steps you can take. In his spare time, he enjoys reading about political and social
history. Often, the motivation comes after the child has had a taste of success, and this system sets
them up for that success. If he or she has been making comments about being thick or stupid, then
they are probably struggling with schoolwork. Offer encouragement, set reasonable deadlines, and
secure them a quiet and distraction-free workspace. You can’t make your child take school as
seriously as you do. If homework is meant to be done by your child alone, stay away. Usually kids
don’t do homework because it’s boring. It’s bad enough asking them to clean their room or to clear
the latest art and craft disaster off the floor without having to insist also that they do homework. Or,
make collectible cards, like baseball cards, only for vocabulary or spelling words. Nobody wants to
go to work for 8 hours and come home and do the same for another 5 so why do we think our kids
want to come home and do more classwork. If our kids meet the homework time goal they'll be
rewarded later in the evening with family time. If your child flat-out refuses to do their work, then
let them see what their teacher does the next day. Which is wrong. We once had to cancel a trip to a
science museum because our child had too much homework to finish and there was no way to make
it in time and get their homework done. Nobody appreciates the nosy, stand-over person, and kids
are no different. It’s about understanding and infusing the rest of your approach with that
understanding, while remaining prepared to set the boundaries and stand by your expectations that
they will do it. To make getting your child to do homework less of a chore, you have to begin with
understanding why he is resistant to doing homework in the first place. He managed first year fine as
the work was not too difficult and he was able to rely on his knowledge. He doesn’t keep track of
assignments and past efforts to teach More him organization strategies failed to stick. Make it very
clear that if they don’t do their homework, then the next part of their night does not begin. On the
contrary, they are likely to stop listening. This is a good time to explain to your adolescent that there
is such a thing as 'too much of a good thing'. And they need to be away from the stuff in their rooms
that can distract them. When your kids don’t achieve what they need to, avoid a yelling match. Part
Three: Functional Fixedness and Our Ingenuity. In my experience, most teachers are dedicated and
caring, but I realize that this isn’t always the case. Have you wasted a lot of time and energy trying
to make your child change. It can be all the more difficult to get them to work if what they need is
downstairs and they are comfortable on the couch upstairs. We need to understand why they’re
reacting this way.
At the beginning of each term or semester, sit down and talk about how your kid intends to handle
homework in the coming months. When it comes to education, your adolescent needs to 'hold the
bag'. Which means the child now has even more work to do on top of their homework. Imagine the
terror of being asked to read something out loud, or solve a math puzzle, when you cannot even
grasp the basics. There may be appropriate times for your child to engage in these activities, however,
it is very easy for him to become addicted to them. If homework isn’t finished, then they must miss
practice. Your child may have some sort of learning difficulty, such as dyslexia or dyscalculia, which
leaves them feeling bewildered and stupid. His teachers have to chase him for his work and he will
often ignore them. How do you combat this without going to the school everyday. Many kids are not
self-starters and lean towards being slow starters. He is currently in 8th grade (but should be in 9th).
If there are other members of the family watching TV, shift the TV to a place where it cannot be
heard. All he does is debate with me that More Grades really don't matter that he's like I'm just going
to get D's because I'm not going to care to do better because I do not like school. Sometimes
homework isn’t working because they’re struggling with it in class, as well as, out of class. We set
aside our own needs and focus on the needs of our children. Show your child that he can be cool
AND have good grades, not one or the other. Know that from this time to this time, she is working
on it. So, get your teenager started with homework by setting her stuff down in front of her. 3. Doing
a good job as a mother or father means that you have done all that you can do as a responsible parent.
I even ask him how is he going to succeed to work real well at a job when he doesn't work hard at
school he goes I don't need to work hard at school but I will need to work hard at a job. Teach your
child to create an agenda each time he or she sits down to study. We would suggest and focusing on
just one or two of the most serious, to get started. I’ll bet your teacher won’t have any trouble
reading this. It’s about understanding and infusing the rest of your approach with that understanding,
while remaining prepared to set the boundaries and stand by your expectations that they will do it.

It's as if my child has made a conscious decision Not to work. Don’t worry, it’s not hard, it’s just
about taking a moment to work it through. For me, this was extremely frustrating since I was aware
of how intelligent he was and of what he was capable. What can we do when our child refuses to do
Homework Start by trying to be a team. Make it very clear that if they don’t do their homework, then
the next part of their night does not begin. If your child keeps telling you he or she doesn’t know
how and you decide to offer help, concentrate on asking rather than on telling.
Just adding a tip: sometimes your child will be dealing with mental problems like depression and
anxiety, as someone with both of these examples, Its really hard just getting by and living. I once
overheard her and Kevin, my husband, talking about how she felt left out. In fact, they are more
likely to scream, cry, or retreat into sulky silence. For me, this was extremely frustrating since I was
aware of how intelligent he was and of what he was capable. I echo many of the frustrations
expressed by other parents here, including my opinion (as an educator) that homework should not
exist. But make a deal that no matter how late they get home, they will do the homework before the
next day. But pick a few that seem relevant and give them a try. When I had parents in my office, I
would take these concepts and show them how they could make it work for their families in their
own homes. She has always made exceptional grades and has excelled in math and science More and
is a fairly avid reader. In my experience, most teachers are dedicated and caring, but I realize that
this isn’t always the case. Or, make collectible cards, like baseball cards, only for vocabulary or
spelling words. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even at school she is on her phone. Sleep is what our
bodies need to absorb important information we learn throughout the day, so staying up late with
homework might even be harmful to a child's education. They could try their best for a while and see
where it takes them. The same applies if he wants to do something like skateboarding. John Sharry is
founder of the Parents Plus Charity and an adjunct professor at the UCD School of Psychology.
Above all, make it clear that you are not interested in blaming anyone, you just want the matter
resolved. The easier material will seem to go faster once fatigue begins to set in. And try not to blame
your child for the frustration that you feel. One parent works with them until the other gets home,
then they switch while the other goes to make dinner. I am certain that the separation likely had
some affect on him, but it was more than that. However, when you’re part of the same team instead
of the imposing figure in your kid’s life, they’re much likely to put forward the effort needed to
achieve the desired results. When you’re alone and have calmed down a bit and let go of your anger,
think about it. Never bribe a child into doing their homework, or they’ll always want the bribe. They
turn on and off the behavior depending on who they are with and what they want. Help him
reconnect with friends and get involved with social activities he enjoys; this is as important to his
wellbeing as his schoolwork. While this can be hard to hear as a parent, it’s important to find out so
that you can make the necessary adjustments. While it’s true that you will need to correct and
reprimand as a mother or father from time to time, try to make a conscious effort so that every time
you do this, you will follow it with many positive interactions. If you’re willing to take their views
into consideration, when combating homework issues, they will be inclined to discuss things with a
level head versus a combative mindset. Kids don't want to be labeled as nerds so they do everything
to try to fail.
