How to help a kid with homework
According to Mind Research, staying positive is an important part of helping a child with their homework as they will see it as a valuable task. Parents should also realise that they are not meant to simply give away the answer when helping with homework, but should aim to guide their child so that they get to the answer.
Kids should be rewarded when they have worked hard and are successful. Positive reinforcement goes a long way to help a child when learning.
