Kids Not Doing Their Homework - Why?
Kids Not Doing Their Homework - Why?The kids can't be expected to read the instruction sheet. Unless you take a peek into the back of the book and ask them, I think you'd be surprised at how many students can't answer basic questions like 'do my homework.' Here are three reasons why kids aren't doing their homework.First, most parents think that their child is doing their homework because they aren't home or because they didn't make time to do it. I've even heard some parents tell me that their kids went off to college and never did any homework. It's a surprising number of young adults who weren't happy in college, so why would their children be happy in college?That's a bad idea. If your kid is spending all day on campus, there's no reason for them not to know how to do their homework. Whether it's home school, online courses, or long school days, you'll always have a chance to catch up on homework if you plan on making extra time to do it.Another reason that most parents don't exp ect their children to do their homework is because they aren't busy. Kids are adults and they have other things to do. I know it seems easy to make time for homework when you're working two jobs, but that doesn't mean you should be doing something else. Your child needs your attention as well.Make sure you check in with your child regularly. Don't wait until the night before to say, 'let's get to it tonight!' You also need to make sure that they understand what they are expected to do. Your child needs to know exactly what it is that they need to do in order to get good grades, and they need to understand exactly what they are expected to do.When you do your homework, you should only use the methods and resources that will help them do their homework correctly. If they want to get an A in Math, make sure that they use everything available to them, including pre-algebra or a teacher who has access to pre-algebra material. Don't make the mistake of overusing the resources just because your child wants it.The internet is a great resource for doing homework, and you should use it more often than you use your phone. If you want to get the answers you need quickly, then you will need to do your homework online. Although it might seem like the perfect time to take care of other things, homework should be a priority that you give high priority to.Do your homework because you have to, but do it right. When your child doesn't do homework, you're not going to get a good grade. It's time to reevaluate your child's life and their education.
