In most schools, a couple of students always did others’ homework for some fee. Depending on the age, the price was either school lunches or real money. You must have known some of them, or, who knows, maybe you have been one of those young entrepreneurs? Since such a “business”…
How To Make Homework Fun — Here is the Answer
Recall your childhood. We all remember the feeling of spending a long day at school. Parents made us do the home assignments. It was pretty terrible, wasn’t it? However, we expect our kids to come from school and do the homework.
It is not a surprise that after multiple hours of making notes, solving quizzes, and listening to their teachers, the kids don’t want to do home tasks. So, our team decided to compose this list of advice for parents that don’t know how to make homework fun and engaging.
Teamwork
You came from a long workday, took care of chores. And decide to chill. However, your kid considers this to be unfair. He is tired after school too, but the system obliges him to do the home assignment. Thus, you need to spend some time helping out your child to do the homework. It will require a tremendous amount of patience and commitment.
The last thing you want is to make your kid think that he is left out of the fun. Sit next to him and do some chores (work). Read the book, write the script for the project or do the family budgeting. At the same time, you can help your kid out when he needs assistance.
Prepare treats and rewards
Some team members don’t support the usage of rewards in return for completing homework; however, it proved extremely useful. One member of our team has a wonderful daughter. She is lovely and cheerful. However, she despises math. So, this team member decided to create the reward that he would present to her once she completed the necessary assignments.
There is a situation when a kid hates the task, but he needs to complete it. So, you can offer him a reward after he finished the home assignment. Offer to play a board game with him, paint with them or play outside for a short period.
However, we don’t recommend you to promise them video games, additional television or smartphone hours, and sugar treats. The main reason is that these rewards will affect their productivity and reinforce the lousy habits.
In the conclusion of this part, I want to notice that it is essential to stay true to your word and to do the things that you promised.
Be creative
It is not fun to sit straight for a couple of hours and solve math problems, so it is essential to study exciting and excitingly. Help your kid to visualize the problem and find out an exciting solution.
Create the workspace for them
In recent years tech companies put an insane amount of money into creating friendly and productive workspaces for their employees. This true not only for programmers or designers but for our kids too. Provide your kid with the space for their books and their studies. It would be a great idea to set up a minimalistic table, office chair, and bookshelves alongside it.
Besides that, ask your kid to help you out with installing the workspace. This will not only make it unique but will strengthen the bond with your child. However, don’t set up any additional electronic devices near him to avoid unnecessary distractions.
Like the employees of Google, Facebook, and Apple – possessing a unique sot for homework and other productive things will encourage your kid to do the homework and stay creative. Besides that, teach your child that he needs to keep the work space clean and reward him for doing it.
Conclusion
Studying in school can be challenging for the kids. We make them spend the vast amount of their daily life attending school and after that give them the home assignments. It is not surprising that kids don’t want to do it. Thus, parents need to help them out during the completion of home assignments. Don’t forget to prepare the treats and rewards for the completion of their task.
Besides that, it would be beneficial to create a unique workspace that will help them stay productive and creative.
