One of the issues that families frequently complain about is that children do not have the habit of doing homework. So why don't children want to do homework? How to create awareness of responsibility in children? Here's what you need to do to get your child into the habit of doing homework: Make family gatherings your weekly ritual. These meetings will raise responsibility and awareness in children and help them adopt their roles at home. In these meetings, if you wish, you can talk about your weekly task distribution and weekday plans and inform the people living at home about this. Please do this at a certain time and day, in the manner of a tea conversation in a very natural routine way, not as a "let's have a meeting" or as a directing or commanding person for your spouse or children. Please fill the time you expect your child to do homework by reading a book as a household member. One of the biggest reasons why children do not want to do homework is that the family goes to their rooms while watching television and expects them to do homework. While TV and computers are very attractive technological devices, especially for 1st grade children, you deprive them of this during the period when they are most fond of entertainment and ask them to write certain words on papers over and over again. While your child is doing his homework, do not judge or try to direct him. Make the homework topic more permanent and fun with concrete examples from daily life. First, review the assigned homework. If the homework topic is something that can be learned more practically in daily life, do not torture the child by making him write something over and over again. To explain this with an example, if the child is going to learn that 1 liter is 500 ml in mathematics class, you can make the measurements by baking a cake in the kitchen or make it more enjoyable by playing a game with a water bottle. Homework may be given equally to everyone to ensure a certain standard of learning. If your child is learning early on this subject, please discuss this situation privately with the teacher. Learning by experience is the form of learning that leaves the most permanent mark. Especially in this period when primary school children are active and energetic, ask teachers to give activity-type homework. child doing homework Do not prevent him from expressing himself. While children are doing their homework, an incident they experienced at school may suddenly come to their mind. For example, when explaining something out of class, such as "Do you know, they cornered and beat my friend Hasan in the garden today, his arm bled." Do not be present in a way that prevents him from relaxing with sentences such as "Okay, we will talk to him later, finish your homework first, let's finish this and then tell him about it." Talk about this incident that prevents the child from focusing on the lesson, bring it to a conclusion by empathizing and continue the lesson. Don't send your child to his room to do homework as soon as he gets home from school. As soon as the child comes home from school, he says, "Go straight to your room!" Do not approach it as follows: "Homework will be finished first, then you can play with your friends." Remember, they have to sit in a row all day long during their most active periods and cannot adequately reflect their energy. Instead, leave the choice and responsibility to him/her by saying "What do you want to do until I prepare dinner?" Ask him to make plans that match your own plans. For example, "I will finish dinner around seven o'clock, please set your homework time before or after that." Let me help you with your homework.'' The child will start making plans while you are living a planned life and will definitely arrange a time period that suits you. As long as you don't approach me while cooking with the attitude of "Don't stand around, go to your room and do your homework before I get on my nerves even more, those homework will be finished by the time it's time for dinner"!! When your child is doing homework, praise the process, not the result. A child will definitely make certain mistakes while doing homework. Moreover, if it produces a very successful and organized homework, never reward this process. Remember, when the reward disappears, this desired behavior may fade away. Assignments and duties are our responsibilities in life. Talk about your own homework and duties at family meetings. You can use expressions praising the behavior, but please avoid personal evaluations. When the child finishes his homework, use I-language emotion expressions that reinforce the behavior, such as "I feel great when I finish your tasks on time" instead of "You are a great person, you are perfect." Remember, if we fulfill our homework and responsibilities, the children will too. Children certainly do what they see and what they hear. Not that.
