Homework is important due to a number of reasons. It helps the child to revise the concepts taught in the school. This way he is able to have a better understanding of the subjects and thus, be better prepared to face the term exams or surprise class tests. Doing Homework on a regular basis also instills in the child a sense of self-responsibility, self-discipline, time management, independent thinking, and problem-solving skills.

We are all looking for some magical wand that makes our children love studies and do their homework well on time. Isn’t it? Most of the time, we lecture our kids on the importance of education and tell them how education is very crucial for their overall growth and development. But has it brought any changes? No right. So, let us discuss the strategies by which you can make a child feel interested in doing his homework.

1. Let your child do the homework by himself. Don’t shout on him if he makes any mistakes in the work assigned. Because this might discourage him from doing the work next time. And, doing his work by himself will gradually make him more responsible. Therefore, support him in his studies but do not overly involve yourself in it as that may prevent your child from learning.

2. Supervise or guide your child in his Homework. This will make him learn the right way to do research on various concepts for a better understanding. Teach him to prepare notes, diagrams, and worksheets to do his homework more efficiently.

3. Make sure to discuss with your child the classwork and homework every single day. You may give him some practice sheets for revision. It is advisable that a certain time is fixed for homework so that the child is mentally prepared to do it.

4. Make homework and studies a fun-filled activity. Try to make homework a creative and fun-loving task so that the child happily does it every day. Try to include some playful activities, imaginary stories, or anything that makes the subject interesting for the child.

5. Appreciation is the biggest motivation. Every child loves to be appreciated by his parents. So, try to praise your child in how he does the Homework, and this will motivate him to do better. Tell him that he has done really well and that he can do much better.

6. Break the Study time into parts. No one can concentrate for long and children are usually unable to concentrate for long hours at a stretch on studies. Therefore, short intervals of breaks are must to let the child relax his mind and regain his energy.

7. Give your child enough time to complete his homework. Constant nagging will make studies appear burdensome to him. Therefore, it is advisable that you must not be so over-anxious about your children finishing his homework on time but give him time to do it at his own pace. He might be slow at first, but with time, his speed will surely improve.

8. Plan out a Study Time-Table and affix a particular time for Self-Study including Homework.  Following a study-table, every day with exciting activities will let your child learn to devote some time to his studies. But plan a study table that is not too hectic for the child to follow.

9. Make sure to keep the distractions zero when the child is doing the Homework. Switch off the TV, and keep your phone on silent so that the child is not distracted while studying. You may invest in a beautiful study table, study lamp, and a chair for him to study.

10. Most of the children love to act as teachers. You may increase your child’s interest through role reversal where the child will teach you the concepts. This technique will help to teach your child the concepts in a better way, and as well as build his teaching skills. Try to invest in a small blackboard to create the classroom environment and make studies exciting for him.
