Parents Helping with Homework
With the start of schools right after a long summer vacation that passed in a stress-free, enjoyable, and leisurely manner, many tasks and responsibilities will soon begin for students. It's not just children who don't want holidays to end; parents feel the same way. After the freedom and relaxation of the summer holidays, it would be beneficial not to wait for schools to open to re-establish routines such as bedtime, waking up, doing homework, preparing homework covers, playing games, eating, listening to music, and watching television. Children need to get accustomed to their school routines and establish their schedules shortly before schools open. As a new school term begins in children's lives, gentle transitions are necessary for these habits to be permanent and healthy. The approximately ten-day period before schools open should be evaluated as a good opportunity for these transitions. Homework times, which parents most frequently experience with their children, turn into a nightmare for some families at certain times and cause tension between families and children.
How to Prepare a Study Plan
Families should know that preparing a study plan together, considering their children's characteristics, is always effective and beneficial for planning their children's wishes and needs from the time they return from school until bedtime. After returning from school, children should definitely rest for a while before starting their studies, and it is beneficial for them to start lessons and homework after spending some enjoyable time. In some cases, study plans are rejected by children. Children need to know when their playtime and study times are and complete their homework covers and lessons during these periods. The most important thing for parents to know at this stage is that homework is solely the child's responsibility. It is possible to see families who take on homework responsibility complaining about it and either not trusting their children to handle it or being overly interventionist with the desire for things to be better. It should be known that in such situations, children remain dependent at every stage.
