Talk with Someone at School if Problems Come Up. Call or meet with the teacher. For example, get in touch with the teacher if your child refuses to do assignments, or if you or your child can't understand the instructions, or if you can't help your child get organized to do the assignments. Believe that the school and the teacher want to help you and your child. Work together to fix or lessen the homework problem.
Different problems require different solutions.
Perhaps he has poor study skills and needs help getting organized. Maybe your child has fallen behind and needs special help from a teacher or a tutor. Perhaps it's too easy and your child needs extra assignments that give more challenge. Or perhaps she would be more interested if another way could be found for her to learn the same material. Remember that not all homework can be expected to interest your child.
