If you are one of the parents who, due to lack of patience, time or a matter of comfort, do the school homework for your children, you are making a big mistake. Doing homework for children is not only one of the most common mistakes of parents as it is very detrimental to the discipline and responsibility of children.
Parents can guide, encourage, review, monitor and follow their children in their tasks, but never do their homework themselves.
There are many debates about children's homework. Some friends of mine believe that homework reinforces children's learning, that it helps them to acquire the habit of effort, work, and discipline, and that for this reason, it is a very positive activity. Other moms and dads believe that children already have too many tasks. That children should not bring homework so that they can devote themselves to playing, having fun and making friends.
In my opinion, I think children should only bring homework when they cannot do it in class. For example, when it is necessary to do research, or when a child needs reinforcement. However, beyond these opinions, I believe that homework should be done by children and not by their parents. I think that doing homework for our children makes our afternoons lighter, but it takes away the responsibility and commitment that is being demanded of them.
I have collected 10 tips that helped me a lot with my daughter so that she did her homework well and alone, since she was little. They are habits that she follows to this day:
1. Do your homework always in the same place, in a corner of the room, or at the table in the living room or kitchen;
2. The environment in which the child does his homework should be quiet, calm and without distractions.
3. We should never complain about the duties of children. If we do not agree with something, we should speak directly to the teacher.
4. While the children do their homework, keep the TV, as well as all appliances or smartphones in the house, turned off.
5. Motivate children and show them that we trust them.
6. Parents must always be available to solve children's doubts, or simply to take their homework;
7. Respect your children. There will be days when they will have more desire and others not, to do their homework.
8. Do not turn homework time into times of tension, fights, conflict or stress. Parents must arm themselves with patience;
9. Do not overload children's afternoons with extracurricular activities;
10. Organize and determine a time for the children to do their homework. Limiting time will help you organize. Pausing between one task and another is also important.
