Be a Homework Cheerleader
When homework is challenging, cheer your child on. Research says that students are better able to tackle challenging homework assignments when their parents act like cheerleaders rather than drill sergeants. Cheerleader parents never let their children belittle themselves with comments like, “I’m stupid.“ They consistently say things like, "Sure, this is hard, but you've done work this hard before. You can do it!" And their children begin to believe the message and rise to the challenge.
