mom third graderWe are caught in a vicious circle. Every day is not made in time lessons, endless work on the bugs and new exercises. mistakes again, again long, protracted occupation. The child dies, exhausted and grows dull on the eyes, and I... I do not know what to do. We are drowning in homework. Hands down.

1. Excessive start
"My daughter is 30 minutes to shift books, go to the kitchen for a glass of water, distracted by his younger brother, whining and explain why she does not want to do their homework. Anything except homework. "
Habit long swing, postponed the case and distracted - the bane of most students. Habit that quietly and relentlessly eats up time.
The main thing - to start fast and fun. How to help? Promise a sweet prize at the end, or other consideration, for example: "You'll have time to do the lessons until 17:00 - you will go to the gym or in drama school."
2. Trying to learn lessons for the table heaped with books and notebooks
You can not pay attention to it, but mess in the workplace - a mess in my head.
Help your child. Tell him: "Be on the table only a diary, textbook and materials for one lesson. Learn and take away, and then took out the next. " It's amazing how this simple recommendation saves time.
3. The habit of doing your homework before the lesson, not after
Do homework at the last minute, constantly procrastinating and live with a sense of delay. Have you ever thought that the word "success" comes from the word "keep up"?
Change the situation and stop to catch the departing train. Anticipate, attack! Let all the tasks will be done immediately after school today. freedom feeling will be best award.
4. Unlimited time on homework
Busy children who painted every minute to do my homework quickly and efficiently. They intuitively correctly organize work, isolating the essence of time and cost-consuming. Remember Parkinson's Law? "The work fills the time allotted to it."
You can help the timer beep, hourglass rhythm of alternation of operating units and a short rest. Never allow children to stretch to infinity lessons execution due to walking, friends and sleep.
5. The liberation of the child from the house duties
"What are you, Lyuba learns every day to twelve or even up to an hour. She lies down and gets up after us before. How come home, eat and just outside the lessons. And sitting. "
Do not let the child sit. Household chores - a productive stay. Teach your child to alternate with short lessons useful switching for 10-15 minutes. Let him vacuuming the room, will wash the floors, take a walk with the dog or will remove the purchase in the refrigerator. Tired brains behind is say thank you. And the lessons done quickly.
6. Education only textbook
If your child is engaged only in the textbooks, it will never become cultured and educated man. Learn to respond and forget? Yes, he's just spending time in vain!
Let's see how it is necessary. In the book are only husks of knowledge. They are poorly digested, cram their useless. Much better to deeply and comprehensively study the topic, to find the relationship between objects, see documentaries and read art books on the topic of the lesson.
For each phrase from the book should get up pictures, images, stories, facts. So knowledge becomes form and remain with a person.
Of course, within the school year, with its kaleidoscopic speed is unreal. But there is a solution. Open and search for YouTube videos on the topic of the lesson. As a rule, many topics have documentaries for 10-20 minutes with reliance on the textbook.
Teach your child to watch videos in an accelerated mode. After 15-20 minutes he will hold the material to provide examples. Excellent grades in school, and the reputation of an interesting person are guaranteed.
7. Performing all tasks in full
This is most clearly evident in the primary grades. Pressure on the child by the parents is needed of the traditional Russian school as a lever of influence.
The school also puts pressure on teachers, requiring good performance on exams, competitions, contests. So often teachers behave as if their subject - only. But many teachers and your child alone, its resources are limited.
Take care of the child's strength, do not let the run down and depleted. Select the key items in preference and are comfortable with others.
The ability of the student to deal with homework - an indicator of success in school. Parents can help a child to organize this process. Remember here that lessons needed to consolidate the knowledge, not a child for school. Be on the side of his interests.
Mom says fifth-grader, "At school I was an excellent student and always did all the lessons. It takes all my time. I had no time to go out with friends, read a book or just do nothing. My cousin, the same age, did not seek to learn well. She and her mother read a lot, traveling, talking, playing with friends. Lessons made by a residual principle.
I grew up, became an accountant and not a very happy life. My sister - a successful person. It took place in the family, work, business. Her respect, she has an opinion, its own interesting life. This example is always before his eyes when checking homework son. "
It may be the reason in relation to homework? Perhaps for success in life do not need to spend all the time only to the lessons?
Analyze the error and help your child to approach the implementation of school lessons more effectively. Rejoice with him how quickly he will deal with them and how to change his life.
To build on the success, advance to figure out how you will enjoy life together in the vacated from the lessons time.
