Some advices for moms
Give your child a chance to relax after the stress of the school day, and do not ask him to take off his clothes – for example – and start doing his homework; this method is one of the most important reasons for your child’s refusal to do his homework and ways to treat it.
It requires a complete change in your approach and dealing with your child so that you give him a period to eat lunch and take a nap after arriving home. You should not make an important mistake, which many mothers make, which is that she starts studying and doing the homework assigned by the teachers as soon as the child returns from school, believing that it did not take long for him to forget the lessons he learned, and she can review them with him quickly so that they are fixed in his mind.
Completely stop trying to do homework after arriving home, because this will be very stressful for the child, and the child will not benefit from it at all, and it will make him hate school and doing homework. He will return home missing the home atmosphere, and wanting to meet his mother and siblings, and not wanting to move from the school atmosphere to the same atmosphere at home.
Let your child rest a little, and do not ask him to do his homework immediately after lunch. However, you can start reviewing what the child has learned an hour after eating. You should not review after lunch at all, because the blood goes down from the child’s brain to his stomach to digest the food. Your kid will feel lazy and lethargic, and will not have any ability to study or comprehend.
Give your child a chance to tell you what information he was able to acquire during his day, test his information, and try to find out his strengths and weaknesses and address them urgently so that they do not accumulate and lead to greater educational problems and difficulties for him.
