As they progress into higher grades, they may find homework less appealing because it interferes with more attractive activities, like being with friends. Set the stage now for homework. Set aside a time and a place for homework. The kitchen table right before or after dinner is a favorite homework scene for many families. Be careful not to bribe your child.
Homework is a natural part of being a student.
If you make it a priority, your child will do the same. Science experiments are often a child's first homework. A parent may need to help the child obtain supplies and do simple experiments at home. These may be reported on in school. Children are more interested in the world about them if they can contribute.
