“The child learns as if it were for me.” A parent of an elementary school student said that as long as the parents do not sit around, the child is particularly slow in writing homework and makes some small movements from time to time. For this reason, every day after dinner, she had to sit at the desk with her child to supervise her child’s homework, resulting in fatigue for both herself and her child. Some parents have a headache when they mention their children doing homework. It is true that children in elementary school are still immature in their self-awareness and do not have the awareness of “responsibility” in their consciousness. Therefore, children do need parents’ guidance in doing homework. However, when guiding children to do their homework, parents should pay attention to the following points: One should not “read along”. Some parents sit next to their children and monitor them in order to keep them from being distracted, which is understandable, but this kind of “reading along” will make them nervous and is not conducive to learning. The second taboo “pointing and pointing”. Some parents in the process of children doing homework, once you find the child’s homework is wrong, immediately pointed out, this will hinder the development of independent thinking skills of children. Three taboo “on behalf of the work”. Some parents are afraid that their children in the lower grades do not do well in their homework, often instead of children to complete their homework. The homework of elementary school students is often some of the foundation of the content, parents “on behalf of the work” will weaken this foundation. So, how should I guide my child to do homework? First of all, you should cultivate the habit of doing homework on time, as good habits can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. Secondly, gradually train your child to do homework independently. For primary school students in the lower grades, parents can spend more time on guidance, but as they grow older, the time should be shortened. Third, encourage your child to check his or her own homework, and after checking out the mistakes, let him or her say where and why the mistakes were made, so that he or she can remember them well and avoid making them next time. Fourth, when a child encounters a difficult problem, parents should pay attention to the proportion, you can take a step-by-step approach, that is, parents first give hints, let the child think about how to do, when the child understands, and then some similar topics to consolidate.
