Homework plays a crucial role in reinforcing classroom learning and building valuable skills in students. As a parent, supporting your child in completing homework is an integral part of their academic journey. This blog post is aimed to answer questions like ‘How to make my child do the homework at home?’, ‘I’m busy and don’t have time to help. What can I do?, ‘What is my role in homework?’, ‘I can’t help because education has changed since I was at school. I don’t know what my child is taught.’ , ‘I don’t know enough about a specific topic to help my child. How can I help?’ and many more.
Let’s explore effective strategies to empower your child’s learning experience.
Understanding the Challenge: If your child is facing difficulties with homework, it’s essential to identify the root causes. Communication with your child and their teachers can provide insights into potential challenges, be it comprehension, time management, or other factors. Most of the time, students struggle to complete their homework because of not having set up a routine. When a child will try to do five-days worth of homework in one day, they will struggle and also lose interest.
Creating a Supportive Environment: At Hunar Tuition, we understand the importance of a conducive learning environment. Ensure your child has a dedicated and well-organised space for homework, free from distractions. A comfortable workspace fosters focus and productivity.
Establishing Consistent Routines: Consistency is key. Establish a homework routine that aligns with your child’s natural rhythm. A set schedule, including breaks, helps create a sense of predictability and fosters good study habits.
Breaking Down Tasks: Homework tasks can sometimes feel overwhelming. Teach your child the skill of breaking down assignments into smaller, manageable parts. This approach makes the workload more approachable and boosts confidence. We at Hunar Tuition, recommend up to 45 minutes of homework each day on 5 days of the week and 30 minutes of revision on the sixth day. Revision can be facilitated by parents by asking questions that their child will answer verbally to be more confident in answering the questions.
Guidance Over Answers: Instead of providing answers, guide your child through problem-solving. Encourage critical thinking by asking questions that lead them to discover solutions independently. This approach nurtures self-reliance and resilience. If your child struggles to understand anything in the homework assigned by us at Hunar Tuition, please send us a text or Whatsapp message on 0422791620 so that we can make relevant arrangements to provide extra support to your child.
Collaborate with Teachers: Our team at Hunar Tuition encourages open communication with your child’s teachers. Teachers can provide valuable insights and offer additional support or resources tailored to your child’s needs. We can help everyone better when the communication is more frequent rather than being just an end of term parents-teachers meeting
Considering Additional Support: If persistent challenges arise, consider booking our homework club for a very affordable price.
Conclusion: At Hunar Tuition, we believe in a holistic approach to education. By fostering a supportive environment, encouraging independence, and collaborating with teachers, you can empower your child to overcome homework challenges and thrive academically. Together, let’s make learning an enriching experience that goes beyond the confines of the classroom.
