School homework assignments and homeschool work can present many challenges, especially when you are teaching a headstrong child.
MAKE IT A RACE
Challenge your child to complete the assignment in a limited amount of time. Enthusiasm makes this very effective, especially for small children.
Create a system of rewards where they can earn a prize after completing a predetermined amount of assignments.
GET THE WORST FINISHED FIRST
Get the thing finished first that you are least looking forward to doing. This is great to apply to your children’s schoolwork as well.
Create a rule that school or homeschool work must be completed before playtime has started.
BE PATIENT
Try not to lose your cool while encouraging your children to finish their schoolwork. Work together to maintain peace in your home while completing the necessary assignments.
