Tips for mothers on how to encourage children to do homework independently
(Baonghean.vn) - Children are often very active, so they do not like to come home and sit at the desk when they have been doing it all day in class. Therefore, do not expect your child to enjoy doing homework and voluntarily sit at the desk every night unconditionally. Please refer to the following method!

1. Create a separate study corner: Do not let your child crawl on the floor to do homework, but buy a suitable study table for your child. The study chair needs to be comfortable and of the right height, and the lighting needs to be careful to help your child avoid nearsightedness. If possible, decorate your child's study room impressively, helping your child enjoy sitting there. Photo: Internet |

2. Arrange time reasonably: Some children usually study best after coming home from school before they lose concentration. Others need to rest and need to recharge their “energy” before focusing on studying. Others need to eat dinner right away and then study. Therefore, you should pay attention to which group your child is in to arrange time reasonably. For children who have just entered first grade, you should only do it for about 30 minutes or nearly an hour. Photo: Internet |

3. Create a quiet space: Turn off the TV and the radio... Do not talk on the phone in your child's study room so that he or she has quiet time to complete his or her tasks. Some children can do well when listening to soft music. However, if possible, do not place your child's study table in the bedroom. It is easy for your child to lie down and fall asleep.

4. Help your child when appropriate: First, talk to the teacher and find out how much you should help your child with homework. If possible, guide your child through some difficult math problems, but absolutely let your child do it himself without doing it for you. Photo: Internet |
