One of the main reasons why kids throw tantrums at home when it is time to do homework is because they have a hard time focusing while at home. When kids are in school they have a very structured schedule that they must follow however at home they are not only in a comfortable more relaxed environment, one that they do not view as a place to do homework. So how do you prevent the resistance to homework or deal with it when it happens? First, the home must be made into a place conducive to learning and studying.
1. Help your child create a workspace where they can study and focus without being interrupted.
2. Agree on a consistent time for studying.
3. Help your child develop a technique for keeping track of homework assignments.
4. Develop a positive line of communication with your child’s teacher.
