Everyday kids are on their own at school. From the time they get on the school bus in the morning until they are delivered home in the afternoon. I have often wondered how many decisions they had to make on their own.
No TV. As a general rule, kids should not watch TV while doing their homework. It might be a good policy to have the television turned off any time it’s time to do homework, depending, of course, where the television is located.
The radio is OK. Contrary to what many so-called experts recommend, actual studies have shown that having the radio on a child’s or teenager’s favorite music station can actually help him learn better.
Set fixed hours. There should be a set schedule for homework. This way, the youngsters can arrange their schedules and make sure they get their homework done every day. It’s also a great way for answering those comments. “I’ll do it later, after I’ve finished whatever,” which is a standard line among kids when asked if they’ve finished their homework. You may want to set a standard time for supper and family discussions, followed by study time. If the student doesn’t have other commitments and gets home reasonably early from school, some homework can be done before supper.
Set telephone rules. As a general rule, kids should not be allowed to use the telephone during those hours when they are supposed to be doing their homework. However, sometimes it becomes necessary to use the phone, say, for confirming homework and the like. In these cases, the parents should set a fixed number of minutes for discussing school-related matters so the kids can get back to their homework right away.
At this age you may ask can a parent make a change in the decisions their kids are making without them? You won’t like the answer to this question–the answer is “maybe yes” and “maybe no”. It all depends on the communication you have built with your kid the first ten years of their lives. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness, parents need to seek professional help in this area if you are concerned about the decisions your kids are making on their own.
