Set rewards. I will get to take a break after I finish Science. If I finish my book during the week, I will have the weekend to play with my friends. As a parent, you must be consistent and help your children set priorities. Homework then fun. No exceptions.
Dr. Fran Walfish, author of The Self-Aware Parent, said:
Implement a positive incentive forgetting the work done. For example, tell your children after homework is completed we are going to bake cookies or make our own banana splits! [Also], make consequences for your child and his teacher. If he doesn't finish his homework he must deal with his teacher. You won't bail him out nor will you criticize or chastise him. Perhaps, he has to sit in for a couple of recesses to catch up on his homework before he realizes it's easier to get it done the night before.
