some parents are lucky to have a child that loves doing homework and do it in time.
some parents, like me, have a child that loves to dream, play, know every conversation in the house (and in school), cook, invent etc, but does not love to do homework and if he does, not in time.
some tips therefore:
put on some studying music on you-tube (easy to find)
sit besides your child, available for questions or to remind him/her of the work
put a kitchen timer at 10 or 15 minutes to create sense of time and what you can do in that time when you work concentrated
try to make the work interesting by telling stories that matter, or showing movies at dinner time or in the evening
if your child does not comprehend the stuff he or she has to learn, try to consider it from another point of view; for example, math matters can be explained in several ways (visualization, storytelling, or real-life examples). or bring history to life with a book, a piece of art or real life examples (because history keeps repeating).
put some snacks like carrots or raisins on the table and a cup of green tea (but not in the evening for a good rest)
try to be enthusiastic about the learning stuff. learning is nice.
after using these tips for a while, your child should be able to do it more and more on his own, although doing it like this is very nice. you keep up with the learning stuff and redo your own high-school.
