What should parents do if their children don’t want to do homework?

Many children love to play, so they are not very willing to do homework. Most parents don’t know what to do when faced with the problem that their children are unwilling to do homework. Faced with this situation, parents must pay attention to cultivating their children's interest in learning and not beat or scold their children.

1. Talk to your child about the truth.

First of all, parents should talk to their children about the importance of learning, and believe that learning is good for their children. Therefore, children should be responsible for their own learning. If a child cannot even study well when he is a student, what can he achieve when he grows up? Let children know that only those who endure hardships can achieve success. Studying more and studying well is a good thing for yourself.

2. Encourage your children more and prepare some rewards when appropriate .

Give your children more praise and encouragement, and reward them with some material or non-material things when necessary. For example, if you finish your homework earlier, you can play longer, eat more, do what you like, etc. Parents must do what they say at this time. If they break their promise, this method will backfire.

3. Don’t blame or criticize your children, as this will be counterproductive.

Don't criticize your children easily. There must be a reason why your child does his homework slowly. If parents blame their children without figuring out the reason, the children will be unhappy and may even become more disgusted with doing homework. Especially when there are many people around, don't blame the child.

4. Communicate more with your child’s teacher to understand the situation.

At this time, parents should promptly contact the school teachers to find out whether their children’s performance in school is normal. Have you reached a bottleneck in your studies? If it is not normal, start from here. Please teachers pay more attention to your children. If it is normal, parents need to start from other places.

5. Get to know your child’s friends more.

Parents asked their children’s friends about the situation to find out whether their children had encountered setbacks in social life, which had dampened their enthusiasm for learning. Ask more children about the situation so that you can have a more comprehensive understanding and the effect will be better.

6. Let the child tell the reason why he or she refuses to do homework.

Parents persuade and encourage their children to speak their true thoughts. Why don’t you like doing homework? This method is more direct and effective.
