(slide 2)
Once upon a time there lived a Little Red Riding Hood, so pretty and smart that there was no one better than her in the world. Her mother loved her deeply, and her grandmother even more. One day Little Red Riding Hood went to her grandmother. She’s walking through the forest, picking flowers, listening to grasshoppers, and suddenly she remembers, but hasn’t done her homework, and the sun is setting in the evening...
Assignment for parents:
continue the tale by making 1-2 sentences along the chain.
Epigraph:
“What kind of children are born does not depend on anyone, but to make them good through proper upbringing is in our power.” Plutarch.
(Slide 3)
(slide 4)
Studying at school and doing homework is serious work. Everyone knows what homework is. Several generations of schoolchildren call homework “homework”
«
Homework is what prevents poor children from breathing freely after school is over. Why do so many generations of teachers insist on doing homework, and why do so many generations of unfortunate schoolchildren try with equal constancy to avoid this “bitter fate”?
Today we will talk about d/z. Therefore, the theme of our meeting is “Sit down for lessons” (Slide 5)
2.Introductory remarks.
The education of our children is something that accompanies your, dear parents, life for a long time and in which you (to varying degrees, of course) are necessarily involved.
Typically, all school-age children can be divided into three groups. (Slide 6)
The first group is children who love to do their homework (aliens). (Slide 7)
(Slide
The second group are children who do not like to do their homework. But responsible and organized.
(Slide 9)
The third group is children, conditionally slackers and loafers, for whom, at the words “do your homework,” a whole series of painful sensations begin... But after unequal battles, homework continues to do so...
(Slide 10)
And the last, “unknown to science” group of children -
second graders
, who with enviable consistency do not complete their homework. The reasons are unknown.
Psychologists are sure that more than two thirds of underachievers are potentially capable, but these abilities have not been developed for various reasons. Probably one of these reasons was the inability (and sometimes unwillingness) of parents to provide timely support to their child in educational activities.
Parents are the main “designers, constructors and builders” of the child’s personality. That's why it's important to know how well we're doing in such a challenging role. (Slide 11)
Today we will try to answer the following questions: (Slide 12)
- Why is it difficult for a child to study?
- Are there any explanations for this other than laziness and disorganization?
- How to help your child study?
- What to do?
II I. _
And gra “What? Where? When? ” (slide 13)
Cards with the beginning of a sentence are distributed, and parents must continue it.
— Our child has a special place where he...
- Copes independently with...
- It’s difficult to cook...
— We provide assistance to the child in preparing homework. This help
is...
— When a child learns homework, we...
— If a child does his homework carelessly, then...
Why is homework necessary? (slide 14)
There are different types of homework (Slide 15)
Homework serves various functions. (slide 16)
One of the main ones is the function of leveling the child’s knowledge and skills, his skills
in the event that he was sick for a long time or missed a lot or did not master some rather complex topic.
The second function of homework is to stimulate the student’s cognitive interest, the desire to know as much as possible about a subject or topic.
The third function of homework is
to develop the student’s independence, perseverance and responsibility for the educational task being performed.
Homework is needed so that both the careless and the very diligent student consolidate new knowledge, practice completing simple and complex tasks, and test themselves. It is necessary because it develops independent work skills. And schoolchildren don’t like “homework” because when they leave the classroom, they try, at least for a while, to get out of their heads all those smart things that the teacher diligently put in during lessons.
What are the reasons for our children’s reluctance to study independently? (Slide 17)
- difficult
- desire to attract the attention of adults
- spoiled
- connivance in education
3. Advice for parents. (slide 18)
In a modern school, children spend six hours a day, and sometimes more. Fortunately, the curriculum still includes subjects such as physical education, art and music, as well as special subjects aimed at developing self-esteem. It is assumed that I
should be spent on teaching reading, writing, math, and at least some science. Class teachers are not able to do everything. They need help.
As parents, you can make a huge contribution to your children's learning process. By reading to your baby, you automatically increase his vocabulary. By helping with homework every day, your attention shows how important learning is.
Many parents want to help their children, but do not know how to do it. In addition to the constant lack of time, they often notice that their children simply do not want to study with them. Children will be more willing to design a new car than do their homework. But even if children watch a lot of TV or sit at the computer from time to time, they cannot definitely be called lazy. They study in clubs, visit libraries and play music. They have their own scheduled activities and appointments, and they don't want their parents to take up their precious time. Once children have done their homework, they don't want to spend any more time reading, and they aren't interested in practicing math.
One parent said that when it was time to do his reading homework, the child hid the book behind the radiator. Doing homework turned into a battle, and studying together caused tension between them that was not good for anyone. The parent would lose his temper when he felt his son was not doing his best, and homework usually ended with him yelling at each other. Some parents even do homework for their children to avoid problems.
It happens that parents themselves provoke their children into a negative reaction associated with doing homework. Coming home from work tired and irritated, they sit down with their children for homework with disdain and a feeling of doom. Any mistake or miscalculation of a child instantly turns into a storm of emotional outbursts towards the child. As a rule, children are very sensitive to the state of their parents, and your stress is transmitted to them. Before sitting down to study, try to calm down and concentrate on the activity at hand. Speak your demands to the child in a firm and confident voice, without raising your tone.
Researchers believe that parents are one of the most important sources of knowledge for their child. The book What Works: Research on Teaching and Learning states that “parents are their children's first and most influential teachers.” The book's authors explain that parents have every opportunity to help their children succeed in school, but they do less than they could. The study found that mothers spend on average less than half an hour a day talking to, explaining, or reading to their children. Fathers are even shorter - about 15 minutes. Therefore, before asking your child about grades and success at school, first ask yourself, what did I do for this? What mark will you give yourself for doing homework with your child?
A child's sense of self-worth is fragile and needs to be nurtured. If your child knows that there is a designated time that you will spend with him, then you will show him that he is very important to you and that you want to be with him. Everyone knows that children love to play - recognize it and use it to your advantage. Then your kids will enjoy spending time with you and the learning process will become something exciting for them.
(slide 19)
A small schoolchild should be instilled with the habit of rigorous and systematic preparation of lessons. The habit of studying, and practicing conscientiously, should become second nature to a growing person.
When I talk about habit, I mean the following. No matter how good the weather outside the window beckons, no matter what interesting program is on TV, no matter what guests arrive, in short, no matter what happens, lessons must always be done, and done well. (slide 20) There is no and cannot be an excuse for unprepared lessons - this must be made clear to the student from the very first days of classes.
The first rule is
from 15.00 to 17.00 (Slide 19)
Golden rule
: turn homework into a daily ritual, happening at a certain hour, in the same place.
Second rule
— to instill in the child that lessons are his business, because he is not studying for mom and dad or for grandparents.
(Slide 22)
When it comes to preparing lessons, strictly adhere to the principle of the “only alternative” - DO LESSONS!!!
Those parents do the right thing who, from the beginning of school, let their child understand that in terms of their importance, lessons are on a par with the most serious matters that adults are busy with. (Slide 23)
Is an adult needed?
(Slide 24, 25)
The child needs to know that adults are not present to do homework for him. You can look together at what is assigned, plan the work, help start it and... go about your business, clarifying that you will be there if he needs help.
Parental help:
- If you can't be there every day, agree on homework rules. For example, a child does reading and simple exercises on his own, and when you return from work, you will check what you have done and be there while he finishes the rest. (Slide 26)
- You should not sit with your child and watch every movement of his hand. By controlling his every step, we deprive him of the opportunity to become more independent, we remove responsibility from him. This is why so many 11-12 year old children do not know how to do their homework without adult participation. (Slide 27)
- Do not force your child to rewrite everything if some unprincipled errors are discovered in the work. Just teach him to carefully correct them in a task already completed. (Slide 28)
- There is nothing worse than stupid mechanical rewriting. Using a draft, you can practice writing individual letters and words and solve a problem. But there is no need, for example, to do the entire Russian language exercise in draft and then copy it into a notebook. (Slide 29)
If you decide to help your child with homework, you should be patient and resourceful in order to turn the activity not into a painful procedure, but into an exciting way of communication and learning, bringing true pleasure and benefit to the child and you. To make your mission easier LISTEN
the basic rules for organizing individual assistance to a child at home, which can actually bring him benefit and not harm.
(Slide 30)
- Do homework with your child, not instead of him.
.
- Do with your child only what is assigned at school.
. You should not overload the student with additional tasks. A child's life should not consist only of school assignments.
- Work calmly, without hassle, reproaches, reproaches
.
- Never start with difficult tasks, complicate tasks gradually
.
- Complicate tasks only when the previous ones have been successfully completed.
- If adjustments need to be made as work progresses, do so immediately.
since a child can “learn” a mistake. But avoid the words “you’re doing it wrong”, “this is wrong”.
- In order for your work with your child to be more effective, it must be systematic,
but short-lived.
4. Summary of the meeting.
Today we have seen that there are many reasons for not wanting to do homework. You can find out these reasons and get rid of them only with the support of teachers and you parents. Every child is unique.
In conclusion, I would like to add, love your children! The need for love, to belong to another is one of the most important human needs. This means that it is important for a person to feel that someone needs him.
5. Decision of the parent meeting
- Teach your child to do homework independently and correctly evaluate the results of their activities.
- Use the prepared reminders for the most rational structure of children’s work in preparing lessons.
- Provide assistance to children when serious difficulties arise in completing homework.
- Don't skimp on praise. Always praise the performer, and criticize only the performance.
- Set realistically achievable learning goals with your child.
Thank you for your attention! (Slide 31)

4. Progress.
Classroom teacher:
“Today, parents are faced with an acute problem of how to instill in students a strong habit of sitting down to study despite the desire to play or go for a walk, to develop the ability to quickly get involved in work, to conduct it without distractions and at a good pace. The slightest internal imbalance of the child or some external inconvenience can turn out to be a serious hindrance. We often hear the following expressions: “My Petya sits at home for 3-4 hours. If only he had maintained this diligence until the 10th grade.” But in the 4th grade you should spend no more than one and a half to two hours on homework.
(Situation)
Taking advantage of Petya’s mother’s invitation, the director watched Petya teach his lessons. Petya took his workplace. He’s sitting at the table, which means he’s working... But no, it turns out. A compass and a pencil had disappeared somewhere, and it was immediately discovered that the required entry in the diary was not there, and I needed to find out from a friend what was assigned in mathematics, and the textbook itself was not there. And the minutes fly by...
But everything was found, clarified, prepared, the boy went deep into work... Suddenly he wanted to drink water, and a minute later it turned out that he needed paper for a draft...
It took more than 20 minutes to build up, and more than two hours were spent preparing the lessons. Petya during this time:
- got up from the table twice and went to the kitchen to drink water;
-one time I got up and went to watch TV to see if the cartoon program had started;
- twice, taking time off from work, I listened to the conversation of adults in the next room;
— one time he took out an album with stamps from the table and leafed through it.
But now the work is finished. Petya aimlessly shifted textbooks from place to place for 10 minutes...
So, it turned out that out of more than two hours spent by Petya, only 1 hour and 27 minutes were properly used.
This picture, as you understand, is typical. Almost half of junior schoolchildren spend more time preparing homework than they should.
2. Psychologist:
In a modern school, children spend six hours a day. Fortunately, the curriculum still includes activities such as gymnastics, dance and music, as well as special activities aimed at developing self-esteem. Teachers are expected to spend the remaining three hours teaching reading, writing, math, and at least some science. Class teachers are not able to do everything. They need help.
As parents, you can make a huge contribution to your children's learning process. By reading to your baby, you automatically increase his vocabulary. By helping with homework every day, your attention shows how important learning is.
When I talk to parents in consultations, I see that they want to help their children, but do not know how to do it. In addition to the constant lack of time, they often notice that their children simply do not want to study with them. Children will be more willing to design a new car than do their homework. But even if children watch a lot of TV or sit at the computer from time to time, they cannot definitely be called lazy. They play football, basketball, take dance classes and play music. They have their own scheduled activities and appointments, and they don't want their parents to take up their precious time. Once children have done their homework, they don't want to spend any more time reading, and they aren't interested in practicing math.
One parent said that when it was time to do his reading homework, the child hid the book behind the radiator. Doing homework turned into a battle, and studying together caused tension between them that was not good for anyone.

3. Practical recommendations of an educational psychologist.
Form of conduct: gaming.
For your attention, I would like to offer several educational games that will allow you to attract children's attention to the learning process. All tasks are designed to bring maximum benefit with minimal time investment. They can be played anytime and anywhere.
«The first sound."
Target:
introduce the child to sounds and teach them to identify the initial sound in a word.
No special materials required.
The game can be played anywhere there are objects that can be seen - walking down the street, cleaning a room, or walking to the playground.
How to play
: During the game, participants guess the secret word. One player guesses an object that is located somewhere nearby and names only the first sound of the word; the remaining participants must guess the object. They can name all the objects that they see around and which, in their opinion, begin with this sound. If players find it difficult to name an item, they can name questions to determine its location and purpose.
Developed skills:
the child must learn that words can begin with the same sound and be able to name such words. When he understands that all words consist of the same sounds, he will also see that they use the same combinations of letters. The goal of the game is to teach the child to recognize and identify initial sounds. To guess a secret word, he needs to choose an object, determine what sound it begins with, and then pronounce this sound without saying the rest of the word. Your child will need this skill to read accurately.
"Same".
Target:
teach your child to structure information and develop vocabulary.
How to play:
Participants in the game need to guess the category to which the group of words belongs. One player comes up with a category (for example, sharp objects) and, without telling the others what he thought of, names an object belonging to this category (for example, a knife). Other participants try to guess it. If it is not possible to immediately name the category, the first player lists the items related to it - a razor, a pencil sharpener, etc. - until one of the players guesses the category. The one who names it correctly gets one point and comes up with the next one. If no one can determine the category after at least five items have been named, the first player earns a point and the right to the next turn.
Developmental skills:
Children need to understand that words can have two or more meanings and belong to several categories. When children play with words in this way, they develop the ability to recognize different meanings of the same word, while expanding their vocabulary.
“What number?”
Target:
introduce your child to interesting ways of counting numbers.
How to play:
During the game, children determine the secret number based on the clues. One player chooses a number that he keeps secret from the other players. He gives them mathematical clues about the magnitude.
Developmental skills:
This game provides an opportunity to practice using different counting methods and encourages the child to consider how they can be combined. Thanks to this game, children will have a desire to discover new things.
4. Practical recommendations from the teacher.
Form of implementation: situation from work experience.
“How to teach a child to be independent in preparing homework?”
Start with a subject that is easier for the child, and do not answer any question addressed to you until the task is completed, see if there are any mistakes, offer to look for them yourself. Try to avoid the word "error". Don't make fun of your children's mistakes.
About reading.
The child reads by himself once. Then you, say, cook at the stove, and he retells what he read. If he retells some passage inaccurately, let him read it again. This way we get away from meaningless repetitions.
Be sure to read books out loud with your child at night, taking turns. Look at the illustrations. Notice the artist’s accuracy or inattention, and return to the text along the way. If there are passages that can be read role-by-role, use this opportunity. Don’t just re-read it several times. It's boring.
In Russian.
Pay attention to performing the exercise completely. If you have difficulties, do all the exercises out loud, but do not write any letters or words in the textbook. When doing it in writing, the child remembers everything again. Leave the room while he is performing the task, do not stand behind him. Don't be angry with your child or make him angry.
Math problems.
Learn to read and imagine as incidents. Complete the drawing. Find an auxiliary action if the task has two or more actions. Let us clarify what quantities we are talking about. The child independently records actions and responses. Checking.
Natural history.
Read not only from a book, but also subscribe to magazines. Make interesting clippings from there and select texts.
1. Parents, together with their child, develop the most rational daily routine for the student and facilitate its implementation in every possible way.
2. Organize a child’s work corner in each family.
3. Maintain children’s interest in educational work and promote the development of their cognitive activity.

Studying at school and doing homework is serious work. Everyone knows what homework is. Several generations of schoolchildren call homework “homework” . «
Homework is what prevents poor children from breathing freely after school is over. Why do so many generations of teachers insist on doing homework, and why do so many generations of unfortunate schoolchildren try with equal constancy to avoid this “bitter fate”?
In a modern school, children spend six hours a day, and sometimes more. Fortunately, the curriculum still includes subjects such as physical education, art and music, as well as special subjects aimed at developing self-esteem. (“Every Color Except Black”) Teachers are expected to spend the remaining three hours teaching reading, writing, math, and at least some science. Class teachers are not able to do everything. They need help.
As parents, you can make a huge contribution to your children's learning process. By reading to your baby, you automatically increase his vocabulary. By helping with homework every day, your attention shows how important learning is.
Many parents want to help their children, but do not know how to do it. In addition to the constant lack of time, they often notice that their children simply do not want to study with them. Children will be more willing to design a new car than do their homework. But even if children watch a lot of TV or sit at the computer from time to time, they cannot definitely be called lazy. Once children have done their homework, they don't want to spend any more time reading, and they aren't interested in practicing math.
One parent said that when it was time to do his reading homework, the child hid the book behind the radiator. Doing homework turned into a battle, and studying together caused tension between them that was not good for anyone. The parent would lose his temper when he felt his son was not doing his best, and homework usually ended with him yelling at each other. Some parents even do homework for their children to avoid problems.
It happens that parents themselves provoke their children into a negative reaction associated with doing homework. Coming home from work tired and irritated, they sit down with their children for homework with disdain and a feeling of doom. Any mistake or miscalculation of a child instantly turns into a storm of emotional outbursts towards the child.

Researchers believe that parents are one of the most important sources of knowledge for their child. Parents have every opportunity to help their children succeed in school, but they do less than they could.

Therefore, before asking your child about grades and success at school, first ask yourself, what did I do for this? What mark will you give yourself for doing homework with your child?
A child's sense of self-worth is fragile and needs to be nurtured.

Homework serves various functions.
One of the main ones is the function of leveling the child’s knowledge and skills, his skills,
in the event that he was sick for a long time, or missed a lot, or did not master some complex topic.
The second function of homework is to stimulate the student’s cognitive interest, the desire to know as much as possible about a subject or topic.
The third function of homework is the development of student independence, perseverance and responsibility for the educational task being performed.

: If we think about how to properly organize educational work at home, we will notice that this is a two-fold task.
- On the one hand, you need to help the child find correct operating mode
, allocate
a place for classes
, determine the best
order of preparing lessons
. - On the other hand, instill in him a strong habit of sitting down for homework
despite the desire to play or take a walk,
develop the ability to quickly get involved in work
, conduct it without distractions, and at a good pace. The slightest internal imbalance of the child or some external inconvenience can turn out to be a serious hindrance.
Situation 1
“My Petya sits at lessons for 3-4 hours. So diligent, so hardworking. If only he could maintain this effort until the tenth grade.” But in the 2nd grade, you have to spend 1.5 hours on homework. Let's watch Petya do his homework.
Petya took his workplace. He’s sitting at the table, which means he’s working... But no, it turns out. A compass and a pencil had disappeared somewhere, and it immediately turned out that the required entry in the diary was missing, and I needed to find out from a friend what was assigned in mathematics, but the textbook itself was not there. And the minutes fly by...
But everything was found, clarified, prepared, the boy went deep into work... Suddenly he wanted to drink water, and a minute later it turned out that he needed paper for a draft…. It took more than 20 minutes to build up, and more than two hours were spent preparing the lessons. Petya during this time:
- twice got up from the table and went to the kitchen to drink water;
- once got up and turned on the TV to see if the cartoon program had started;
- twice, looking up from work, I listened to the conversation of adults in the next room;
- One day he took out an album with stamps from the table and leafed through it.
But now the work is finished. Petya spent another 10 minutes aimlessly moving textbooks and notebooks from place to place...
So, it turned out that out of more than two hours spent by Petya, only 1 hour and 27 minutes was used effectively, which is what a 2nd grade student should be.
This picture, as you see, is typical. Almost half of schoolchildren spend more time preparing homework than they should.
What can you advise parents if their child cannot “sit through his homework”?
Cl.
hands: First of all
, games. Quiet board games and active role-playing games.
Secondly
. It is useful for a child to do something together with adults, to do it quickly, cheerfully, without swaying, without painful pauses. You can do dirty dishes together: you wash, the child wipes; you can fix something together; You can read a book together: page you, page child.
You can develop in your child the habit of quickly switching from one thing to another.
If he is called to eat, he must immediately stop playing. It is unacceptable to allow a child to ignore parental instructions in anything. It is necessary to teach the child to separate free time from the time when he is busy with something serious, and not to confuse business with play. How many times have you seen a child playing with bread while eating, washing his hands and playing with the fringe of a towel? Parents should not be passive observers of such scenes. Otherwise, the same thing will happen with classes. Ensure that the child does everything necessary without additional reminders, without being distracted by anything.
The daily routine plays a major role in organizing a student’s educational work.
Special studies conducted in primary school have shown that those who study well have a firmly established time for preparing lessons, and they strictly adhere to it. The guys admitted that when the time to prepare homework approaches, they lose interest in games and don’t want to go out anymore.
And, on the contrary, among weak students there are many who do not have a permanent time allotted for studying. This is no accident. Cultivating the habit of systematic work begins with establishing a solid training regimen.
, without this, academic success cannot be achieved. The daily routine should not change depending on the number of lessons, the fact that an interesting film is shown on TV or guests come to the house.
Cl. hands The child should sit down for lessons not only at the same time, but also at a permanent workplace. So he could keep books and notebooks there. If a child studies at a common table, no one should disturb him or distract him from his studies.
Why should a child have not just a convenient place to study, but also a permanent one?
Cl. ruk: The fact is that every person, and younger schoolchildren in particular, develops an attitude not only for a certain time, but also for a certain place of work
. When such an attitude is formed in a child, it is enough for him to sit down at his usual table, and the working mood naturally comes, and the desire to start work arises.
Help your child strictly follow this rule: before classes begin, everything that is not related to them must be removed from the table. Place all auxiliary things that you will have to use (ruler, eraser, pencil) to your left; textbooks, notebooks, diary - on the right. Everything that is no longer needed should be immediately placed in a briefcase or in another specific place.
It is useful to create a reminder together with your child.
“Let’s sit down for lessons.” ( Appendix 2
)
- Always sit down for your lessons at the same time.
- Ventilate the room before classes begin.
- Turn off the radio, TV
- Wipe the dust off the table
- Light from the left side
- Check the lesson schedule for tomorrow
- Prepare writing materials for class
- Remove everything unnecessary from the table
- Sit comfortably on a chair and open your textbook.
Having begun to compare his actions with the points of the memo, after some time the student reaches the point that all these actions will become familiar to him.
CONCLUSION: Organize a child’s work corner in every family.
Teach children to do their homework independently, using the “Let’s sit down for homework” reminder
In what order should the lessons be taught?
Cl. hands: What tasks should you start with? Oral or written, difficult or easy, interesting or boring?
It is best to teach your child to independently assess the difficulties of the work being performed and, by comparing the complexity of tasks, try to independently answer the questions: which of the subjects studied at school are easier and which are more difficult, which task to complete first - difficult or easy.
From the very beginning, the child must realize that the preparation of lessons can and should have its own internal logic related to the content of the material. It happens that children do this: they diligently perform written exercises, and then proceed to oral ones and learn the rule that was the task in the exercises.
When the child has accumulated his own experience in doing homework, he can be advised to set the order of completing tasks based on his observations. If a student knows that he gets involved in work right away, works with enthusiasm at the very beginning, and not at the end, it is advisable for him to do the most difficult lessons first and gradually move on to easier ones, which require less mental effort. If a student gets involved in work slowly, if fatigue does not appear soon, then he should start with easier ones and gradually move on to difficult ones. The most difficult, uninteresting work should be assigned to the middle or second half of classes.
It is best to start doing homework 1 hour or 1.5 hours after returning from school in order to have time to take a break from classes. If the child is busy with some other activities (for example, attending clubs, sections), then you can sit down later. But in any case, you can’t put it off until the evening.
The duration of the child’s work on preparing homework should be as follows:
- up to 1 hour – in first class;
- up to 1.5 hours – in the second;
- up to 2 hours - in third and fourth grade.
These are the standards set by the Ministry of Education.
CONCLUSION: First, oral subjects - rules, and then written ones. Difficult, then easy
How to teach independence?
Cl. hands: Start with a subject that is easier, and do not answer questions until the task is completed. Don't stand behind him, don't make him angry. Do your own thing, and let the child teach. You listen and you can ask a question. Then check and do not ridicule the children’s mistakes. Hang the addition and multiplication tables above your bed and study them. Get ahead of school. Learn the multiplication table. In Russian, do it out loud, but do not write it in the textbook. When doing written work, the child remembers everything again.
MEMO “How to prepare a D/Z in the Russian language”
- Start your work by working on your mistakes. Repeat the rules you forgot.
- Learn or repeat the given rule. Come up with your own examples of this rule.
- Read the exercises.
- Read the entire exercise. Complete the tasks for him orally.
- Do the exercise in writing.
- Check all the work
CONCLUSION:
Parents who almost immediately give their children the opportunity to show complete independence in preparing homework are just as wrong as those who overprotect their child. Some adults tell the child: “The lessons are assigned to you, not me, so you do it.” Others gently ask: “Well, what are we assigned today?” - and open textbooks and notebooks. In the first case, resentment arises at the indifference of relatives to such important school matters and the quality of the tasks performed suffers. In the second, irresponsibility is formed - the belief that everything will be done correctly without much effort.
Of course, parents should be interested in organizing the process of preparing homemade food
WHAT PARENTS SHOULD AND DON'T DO
(
Appendix 3
)
- Check whether the workplace is organized correctly

- If a child does something wrong, do not rush to scold him.
- If your child gets distracted, calmly remind him of the time allotted for completing his homework.
- To complete written assignments cleanly, without mistakes.
- Don't force me to rewrite the work multiple times. This undermines interest in school.

Consolidation of acquired knowledge
(appendix 4
)
BE HAPPY THAT YOU HAVE SUCH HAPPINESS - TO DO LESSONS WITH SOMEONE, TO HELP SOMEONE, TO GROW UP!
Situation 1
Your child said: “I won’t go to school anymore. Take me out of it!” What will you do in this situation?
Answer: don't talk badly about school, don't criticize teachers in front of children. Do not rush to blame the teacher for the lack of an individual approach. Remember how many times you sat with your child and watched him work. Do not discuss all the details of conflict situations with your child. Let the child see that you are interested in his assignments and books. Read for yourself instead of sitting in front of the TV. Take part in the life of the class, the child will enjoy it.
Situation 2
She strictly punished us: not to do homework without us. I come home from work at 6 p.m., we have dinner and sit down for homework. I sit next to you and, if necessary, give advice or force you to redo it.
Questions
- Should a child wait for his parents to complete his homework?
- Do you think that work should be completed first in a draft version, and then in a notebook?
Situation 3
My wife and I immediately agreed: let Svetlana study on her own as best she can. And I don’t look at notebooks. My wife sometimes wonders. But we think that since Svetlana is a student, let her solve her educational problems herself. What he doesn’t understand, he’ll ask the kids and the teacher, and then he’ll get a mark – whatever he earns, he’ll get. If he gets a bad grade, that means he won’t go out, but how else?
Questions
- How do you evaluate the parents' behavior?
- Do I need to help my child with educational activities?
- If a child gets a bad grade, what will your actions be?
Situation 4
When my son went to school, my husband and I took our next vacation - first my husband, and then me. We considered it necessary to visit the boy at home at least for the first time, to accustom him to the new regime, and to help him prepare his homework. Our son really needed this help. Writing was especially difficult for him. There were tears very often.
“Mom, I tried so hard, but I didn’t succeed.” I calm the boy down, find one better written icon on the page among the scribbles and show it to Yura.
- Look, son, you wrote this letter well, you see how even it is, how correctly you connected it with the neighboring letter. This is how you can write others beautifully.
Questions
- Did Yura's mother do the right thing?
- How do you help your child cope with writing difficulties?
Parent testing
(Appendix 5
)
Test “What kind of parent am I?”
Mark the phrases that you use most often in your family:
- How many times do I have to tell you?
- Please advise me
- I don't know what I would do without you.
- And who are you born into?
- What wonderful friends you have!
- Who do you look like?
- Here I am in your time!
- You are our support and helper!
- What kind of friends do you have!
- What are you thinking about?
- How clever you are!
- What do you think, son (daughter)?
- Everyone's children are like children, and you!
- How smart you are!
Evaluate the results by asking yourself:
- 2 points for answers No. 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13,
- 1 point for all other answers.
7–8 points. Live in perfect harmony. The child loves and respects you.
9–10 points. You are inconsistent in communication. The child respects you, but is not always frank.
11–12 points. It is necessary to be more attentive to the child. Authority is not a substitute for love.
13–14 points. You are going down the wrong path. There is mistrust between you and the child. Give him more time, respect him, listen to his opinion.
Parent meeting decision
- Teach your child to do homework independently and correctly evaluate the results of their activities.
- Use the prepared reminders for the most rational structure of children’s work in preparing lessons.
- Provide assistance to children when serious difficulties arise in completing homework.
- Don't skimp on praise. Always praise the performer, and criticize only the performance.
- Set realistically achievable learning goals with your child.
