Homework “Worriers”

Junior hates kindergarten Maths and doesn’t want to do his homework. How do I get him to enjoy the subject?

Know your child Shouting “go to your room and don’t come out until your homework is finished!” will make it sound like a punishment rather than a normal part of his school experience. If your child prefers to work alone, set up desk space in his room with items that will help him concentrate. Check on him occasionally to see if he needs a hand or a quick break.

If he needs assistance, set up a space where you can be available while completing your own chores. Not every kid does his homework in the same way; allow him to work in the environment that best suits his learning style.

Make it fun The teaching tools at Eye Level Learning Centre – such as coloured blocks, wooden blocks and numerical figures – give Maths a visual spin. Try using similar objects at home with your child.
