 The Parent’s Role – What else can you do to help? Be available to answer questions and to help your child prioritize assignments. Encourage your child to tackle the toughest assignments first when they have the most energy. Provide praise and positive support for completing homework responsibly. Take an active role in supervising homework and asking about assignments, but remember there is a big difference between “supervising” and “doing.” Remember to check in with your child’s teacher throughout the year to see what their expectations for homework are and how your child is doing in class. If your child seems consistently frustrated by a particular subject or their grades seem to be slipping, contact your child’s teacher. Discuss your child’s situation with both the child and the teacher. Help your child remember that it is ok to ask for additional help. Making homework a priority will help your child recognize the importance of learning and studying. By helping your child with homework, you not only improve his or her chances of achievement in school and in life, but you can help develop your child’s confidence, self-discipline and sense of responsibility. * from Prevent Child Abuse North Carolina |
