Some students find it difficult to continue the homework given by their teacher. This difficulty is not because the task given is too difficult, but there are other reasons, namely their bodies and minds too tired after a day at school.
So I want to write a few things which can be done by parents to encourage their children to do homework, and also help their children in reducing the pressure or stress when doing homework.
- Guide Your Child but Don’t Ever Try to Control Him
Many parents told me that children are not motivated or don't have the enthusiasm to do homework. Maybe it's true because students are not motivated because maybe they are too tired as I said above. Especially now in Indonesia is already full school day so almost half a day they were in school with a variety of activities that make energy and the mind becomes tired.
So, it is the obligation of parents not to complain when their children are not motivated to do homework. Instead, they should provide encouragement, motivation, and guide their children so that their minds remain calm and their desires come back excited. The conclusion is that you still guide your child and never control it by your own will. 1
- Organize and develop the right time
As I reviewed in the first point and in the opening paragraph, the full schedule of children in the school environment makes the time they have too narrow to perform other activities such as attending additional learning at home or in various other learning institutions. Following the music classes, sports and more. So the situation is like this will make children have less time to make homework.
So, parents should play a role in arranging the schedule for their children, in this case, is to make homework. The right time is probably the afternoon, This time can be used by students of the school until 2 pm. While the second option is at night, this time can be used by students who attend school all day or those who attend classes outside of school.
Message to parents, in making a schedule must involve children. Ask them when to have the time, to enable them to concentrate and ensure that they are ready to do their duty.[ 2]
Helping children doing homework does not mean to be fully involved in doing their work, but in this case, the parents simply directing and make children diligently to create a task and to help overcome the difficulties faced by children.
In addition to the two tips above, parents can also do other things like inviting children to the park, or place that can make the mind becomes quiet. So that the children will be more eager to do its job. Do not forget to make the rules, for example, by saying that the weekend there will not have a vacation if homework is not completed.
