The hard truth for parents is that you cannot make your children do anything, let alone homework. Now the battle is in full swing: reactivity is heightened as anxiety is elevated-and homework gets lost in the shuffle. Or, and this is common, parents will over-function for their kids by doing the work for them. Some parents stop trying altogether to get their children to do homework. When this starts happening, parents feel more and more out of control, so they punish, nag, threaten, and argue. These are just a few ways that kids try to hold onto the little control they have. Your child might forget to do their homework, do their homework but not hand it in, do it sloppily or carelessly, or not study properly for their test.
Over the years, I’ve talked to many parents who are in the trenches with their kids, and I’ve seen firsthand that there are many creative ways kids rebel when it comes to schoolwork.
