Most homework routine I hear about goes like this:

Mom shouts at kid from the back of the house ‘Get ready now, it’s time for homework!’ Then 10 mins later shouts again: ‘Time for homework now, come on!’ After a couple more ‘calling’ (with climbing intensity), the child will finally be-grudgingly come to sit with his books at the homework table.

Does your homework routine sound like this?

Well then, you need to spice it up!

The more fun you make putting homework into motion, the easier it will be for your child to get to it and enjoy it.

The more you will resent it and fear that moment, the more your child will be irritated by it!

Don’t know how to make it fun? Why not make your own homework song! Singing always lifts spirits! 🙂

“Hey YO! It’s homework time! Grab your pens, grab your books, let’s get some learning going!” Try this on a rap melody with some hand movements and it’s sure to be a hit! You could even change the melody from time to time and run the same words on a music your child loves.

Try it out and see how it changes things.
