How can I encourage my child to do her nightly homework?

I have a behavior makeover to help you handle those homework battles. Check with the teacher throughout the year so you're clear on her homework expectations. The general rule is 10 minutes per grade level.

Set aside a special place for your child to work. Then stock it with necessary supplies - pens, pencils, paper, ruler, dictionary. It will help your child be organized and they'll be no more excuses.

Maintain a firm, serious attitude about effort. Your child needs to know that homework is a priority in your home. Enforce one rule consistently homework first, then play (or TV or phone calls) Realize that your role is a helper, not a doer.

Once you get your role straight your battles are half over.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
