Summer vacation is a time for children to relax. It is a common problem faced by many parents that children do not do homework. Parents can make targeted plans for children by understanding the specific reasons, but at the same time, they should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, give children enough autonomy and space, so that they can grow in happiness.
How to deal with children's unwillingness to do homework in summer vacation
First move: understand children's emotional needs
Respect children's feelings: In the summer, children may feel relieved from the pressure of learning, so they may have some resistance to homework. Parents can communicate with their children to understand their feelings about homework and respect their children's emotional needs.
Give children proper autonomy: during the summer vacation, children can be given some autonomy to participate in the decision of learning plans and arrangements. Develop children's enthusiasm for active learning by working with them to set learning goals.
Second move: create a good learning environment
Family learning atmosphere: parents can create a good learning atmosphere, so that children can feel the importance and fun of learning. A special learning corner can be set up at home to provide a quiet learning environment for children.
Reward and incentive mechanism: In order to encourage children to learn actively, parents can set up some small reward and incentive mechanisms, such as getting some small gifts or enjoying some special treatment after completing a certain amount of homework.
Third move: combine learning with interest
Carry out interesting learning activities: In order to make children not feel bored during summer study, parents can organize some interesting learning activities, such as field trips, museum visits, and parent-child reading sharing, to combine learning with interest.
Make interesting learning plans: parents can work with their children to make interesting learning plans, such as reading an interesting story book every day, or learning through painting, handcraft and other ways to increase the interest of children's learning.
The fourth move: advocate a positive learning attitude
Cultivate interest in learning: parents can encourage children to participate in some interesting extracurricular activities and interest classes, cultivate their interest in learning, and thus actively participate in learning.
Encourage independent learning: encourage children to complete their homework independently at appropriate time, and do not interfere and guide too much. Let children experience the fun of independent thinking and problem solving in learning.
Fifth move: Keep communication with teachers
Communication with teachers: parents can keep close communication with their children's teachers to understand their children's learning at school and the summer homework requirements assigned by teachers, so as to better assist their children in completing their homework.
Seek teacher's advice: If the child has difficulties in learning a subject, parents can seek advice and help from the child's teacher to develop a targeted learning plan.
Common phenomenon of children's summer homework
Operation dragging
Many children like to procrastinate when they are doing their homework. They always procrastinate until 8:30 p.m. or even after 9:00 p.m., which is still the case in school. They even like to procrastinate on holidays.
I often say that I will write tomorrow. When I get to tomorrow, I don't want to postpone writing until a few days before school starts.
Reason: The summer vacation is so long, it's not too late to write next week, not to mention tomorrow, the result is delayed again and again.
Inattention
I finally made up my mind to write, but my mind was not on homework at all. I insisted on doing it for 15-20 minutes at most. Then I would go out to pour a glass of water and go to the toilet later; When there are guests at home, we must go out to have a look, or we will put a mobile phone beside us, take a selfie and send a circle of friends... There is no concept of time, and the homework that can be completed in 2 hours is simply delayed to 5 hours.
Reason: I can't go out to play after writing anyway. Maybe my mother will leave new homework, so I'd better write it slowly.
The answers were not standard
When doing homework at ordinary times, children dare not neglect it, because they will be criticized by the teacher the next day. But the summer vacation is different. The teacher won't stare at the quality of your homework every day, so the child's answer is very irregular: no question number; Do not write "solution" for math word problems, and do not write "answer" after drawing conclusions; The format is chaotic, and the problem solving process is just like the calculation on the draft paper.
Some children rely heavily on erasers or correction fluid. If there is a little flaw, they will erase and rewrite, which is not only inefficient but also untidy.
Reason: The teacher won't check anyway, so don't be so serious, just finish it.
