How to solve the problem of children's homework procrastination? Procrastination of children's homework is a big worry for parents to study with their children. In 100 parents, at least 99 parents complained about the inefficiency of their children's homework. A friend of mine often tells me about her son. When he was doing his homework, he itched here, hurt there, moved around, picked the eraser and pulled his hair, and never stopped from beginning to end. It's no use urging, yelling or threatening.

It's really useless If you want to fundamentally solve the problem of children's homework delay, you still have to prescribe the right medicine. The first analysis: Why do children linger? Only by finding the root cause of children's procrastination can we find the corresponding effective methods.

So, why do children dawdle when doing their homework?

Generally speaking, there are three reasons: (1) it is easy to be disturbed by the environment and the attention is not concentrated; (2) Children feel that homework is too much or too difficult and are afraid of difficulties; (3) Children lack time concept and time management ability. In view of these three reasons, this paper gives corresponding suggestions and methods to solve children's procrastination.

First, children lack concentration and are easily disturbed by the environment. What should I do?

Before talking about this topic, we must first have a basic understanding of the length of children's concentration.

Generally speaking, the concentration time of children aged 3-6 is 10- 15 minutes; For children aged 7- 10, the concentration time is about 20 minutes; /kloc-children over 0/0 can concentrate for more than 30 minutes, with individual differences. Therefore, it is normal for a child to be distracted or do some little tricks during the process of writing homework. We don't have to worry too much, as long as he is not often distracted.

Compared with concentration, most children are easily distracted in the process of doing homework, but there are too many environmental interference factors. Children are more easily disturbed than adults. This has something to do with the child's brain structure. The ability to filter irrelevant interference information is an advanced function of the brain, and the specific functional area is located in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. But this part of the brain develops slowly and will not mature until 14 years old. This means that children's anti-interference ability is relatively weak throughout the primary school stage.

We know that a good learning environment is conducive to cultivating children's good study habits. So, what kind of learning environment should we create to solve children's procrastination? Parents are advised to start from two aspects, one is the physical environment and the other is the behavioral environment.

(1) Adjust the physical environment

Let's talk about the physical environment first. The room where children study should be as simple and quiet as possible. Too many elements easily distract children. Especially children's desks, extra stationery such as erasers and pencils should be taken away, and toys or extracurricular books should not be placed; The furnishings of the room should be neat and orderly, and the study area and the information area should be divided. The study area is a place to read books and do homework, and the material area is a place to put books and toys. A clean and simple learning environment can greatly reduce the possibility of children being distracted.

(2) Adjust the behavior environment

Behavior environment mainly refers to the behavior of parents and other family members. Parents and other family members should try to avoid communicating with their children when they are doing their homework. In the process of accompanying children to do their homework, we should pay more attention to observation and remind them in time to avoid talking to them and disturbing them when they concentrate on their homework.

If your child can't know how to ask you questions, you can tell your child in advance, mark the questions that you can't do first, and then concentrate on the discussion after all the homework is finished. Parents, don't be tempted to point out the maze as soon as you see your child make a mistake. In particular, don't ask if you want to drink water before asking if you want to eat some fruit when your child is concentrating on his homework. All these interruptions, whether intentional or unintentional, are extremely harmful to children's concentration.

Of course, examples speak louder than words. A good family atmosphere and the influence of parents' role models on weekdays are also important for children. Parents have a sense of rhythm and purpose, and children are not easy to delay. If parents are very focused on their work and study, their children's learning efficiency is usually higher. We can never give others what we don't have What kind of children do you want to raise? Please be such a parent first, and be an example of children's words, deeds and values.
