  1. It’s not fair!* * Help for the easily frustrated

  2. The easily frustrated • Should begin homework with the easiest task first • Divide tasks into manageable chunks • Use Post-it arrow flags to mark beginning and end places.

  3. Dealing with a frustrated adolescent

  4. Perseverance is the key • Univ of Michigan – One reason Asian students outperform American students is their parents’ emphasis on perseverance. They stress effort – “Work as hard as you can, and you will be successful” – over intelligence. Say things like “With a little extra practice, you’ll get the hang of it”or “How long did you study?” Create a family mantra! “The Park family never gives up.” “When the going gets tough, the Parks get going.” “In the Park family, we always finish what we start.”

  5. Avoiding power struggles • Post homework policies/consequences • Take a break when you see a disagreement turning into a power struggle • Ignore little things like: • Sighs • Eye rolling • “Fine!” • Sucking teeth

  6. SAMPLE Policy Homework Policies • TV goes on only after homework is done and shown to a parent. • All assignments must be complete by 8 pm. • Homework must be put into binder. Binder goes into backpack. Rewards for completing homework • One hour of screen time, to start after 7pm. • Choice of screen time – TV, computer, video games, cell phone. Consequences for not following the rules • Loss of screen time for the evening. One warning will always be given before a consequence.
