Tips in helping out in schoolwork:
(1) Show a keen interest
It is necessary to show a keen interest in your child's homework. For example, asking about which subject he liked most and any work that he needs to complete. Asking the child to write down the assignments given the teacher(s) in a notebook will help monitoring homework.
(2) Set a regular time frame for homework
Help your child organize homework materials before beginning. Establish a regular time with your child to do homework-developing a schedule helps avoid procrastination. Find a specific place for your child to do homework that has lots of light, quiet, and plenty of work space. Encourage your child to ask questions and search for answers, taking the time to figure out correct answers. Make sure your child backs up answers with facts and evidence.
(3) Relate schoolwork with everyday life
Relate what was covered in school to your child's everyday life. This will create an inquisitive mind to probe furhter by reading up or asking others like parents, teachers, older siblings etc for clarifications. Also, take the opportunity to read a book or newspaper and avoid switching on the television as this will distract your child.
(4) Praise
Praise your child for both the small steps and big leaps in the right direction. This will encourage the child to develop and improve further.
