Ending Homework Hassles Experts give
the following advice for the most effective approach to homework
success:
This is one
time in parenting when you can be proud of the things you don't do!
Don't hover! Don't rant, rave or rescue! Let your child take full
responsibility - even if it means teaming a lesson "the hard
way" And all things happens by the will of Allah so put your trust
in Allah this will work Insha Allah Child: I
forgot my spelling book again and we have a test tomorrow! Chances are,
this child will remember his spelling book next week after this episode
much more so than if the parent would have driven him to school
lecturing all the way there about responsibility! Keep in mind, though,
if you have a responsible child who usually remembers his work it is
perfectly okay to help out once in a while!
Sit
down with your child and help her decide on a homework routine. After
school? After dinner? At the kitchen table? At her desk? When a routine
is established let your child adhere to it with only a brief reminder
from you, ("Annie, it's after dinner. Homework time.) Then BE
QUIET. Please, no nagging! It doesn't help, and nagging makes it your
problem! If the child "forgets" he'll have to deal with the
consequences. It helps to let the teacher know in advance what you are
doing so the child will be held personally responsible. This method can
result in a very powerful lesson. It inappropriate to help a child
revise her schedule or adjust the homework plan if need be This can be
use for the Salaat say: Did you hear the Adhan. Then BE QUIET, hopefully
you have got the child in the routine that when he/she hears the Adhan
it means Salaat time. Please no nagging! Not only doesn't it work, but
they will not like to answer the call for Salaat, let it be an enjoyable
experience. If your child forgets the Salaat give one reminder gently
and then let him/her pay for the consequences for doing that.
a)
Helping your child understand the instructions.
Using
rewards or punishments takes the focus away from the teaming process. A
child can become so involved in trying to earn a reward or avoid a
punishment that it creates problems. Homework is a necessary part of
school and should be treated as such, with a minimum of fuss and
emotion.
One
of the qualities of a successful person is the ability to see and
appreciate their good qualities, and accept, but not dwell on, their bad
qualities. When you review your child's school work point out the things
that are done right and make positive comments about what you see. Also
praise effort and improvement.
Children
fear loss of their parents love when they are not successful. You may
think they know you will love them no matter what, but they need to hear
this affirmation from you!
Kids
whose parents are involved at school always perform better. Get to know
the teacher, attend school events, join the PTA, help out and keep up
with class and school activities. It makes a big difference!
