or her Overall school performance will in other parents for the most stay out of Homework the More involved the the less responsible the and the less his or her regular readers May recall a column of several months past on this very in which i outlined my six Point plan for getting children to do their Homework one of those Points called for parents to set an upper limit on Home leaving the child free to decide when to that after the Way the world most frequently oper ates around the Issue of Respo Sibili on the for one is usually told not when to Start a particular but when it is i ended my advice on this Point by the shortest route to a nightly never ending Homework Marathon is to Tell a child when to begin but not when he must be another piece of advice was for parents to give help Only where help was absolutely but not Sim ply to save the child Effort or frus on this parents have often asked whether they should do such things As help children prepare for spelling tests by Reading the weeks word resourceful ways in my feeling about this is there Are resourceful ways a child can go about creating this sort of Aid without parental for a Small cassette recorder is parents can easily teach a child to make a review tape of the weeks the child pronounces a word into the Waits 15 Sec spells the word and then re Peats the process for the next the emphasis is on response 1 recently passed my six Point Homework plan on to the parents of a fourth Grade boy who had succeeded at getting his Mother to sit through Homework with him nearly every the Homework Marathon was consuming the Fame Lys complicating matters was the fact that the boy attended an i school learning disabilities this Only served to reinforce the parents belief that he needed lots of help with his mom viewed her nightly As absolutely parents John Rosemond she was convinced that without her support he would suffer total academic needless to convincing these folks to implement my six Point program was no Small Job of but they they set an upper limit on Homework of 8 and be came occasional rather than full time after some initial displays of the boy began doing his Homework pretty much on his in his room rather than at the Kitchen table As at 8 whether he was finished or his parents made him put his books aside and prepare for his 9 within sever Al his teachers reported that not Only was he completing More work in but that the Quality of his work was natural the boys self esteem also began to Rise As he realized that he was indeed mom was much less but continued the practice of calling out spelling words on thursday in preparation for fridays one such thursday saw the boy wasting time instead of the parents said at he panicked and asked mom to read his words to she pointing out that Home work time was he was beside insisting that he would surely fail the next Days test and that it would be his mothers it was she recount ing the Here there was a whole hour before his bedtime that i could have helped but i so what did he do i she the next he used the half hour be tween when he gets to school and the first Bell to study his it was the first time hed studied them All on his so Howd he do on the test you wont believe mom he got the highest Grade in the the Best Hes Ever i had no trouble believing it at the views expressed Are those of the a family psychologist
