Most children don’t like doing their homework lessons and hate going to school. So, the main task of a teacher is to make educational process both interesting and informative at the same time. I think that each teacher has to be a good psychologist first of all.
I so agree. I think the most impactful teachers are those who truly understand kids and can tap into their creativity, interests and learning abilities all at once. Not an easy task—and yet a rewarding one. Thank you for your insights. I sense you may be a teacher and therefore I also thank you and all educators for what you do!
I’ts funny I read this. I have twin 6yr old boys both with adhd and pdd. I did homework with one tonight that hates it and we learned how to just hold the pencil correctly. We sat together and worked miracles. I had to teach him one step at a time several times on how to hold the pencil. I was one darn proud mom. My little man was just a miracle to see. Thank for your amazing advice.
Kudos to you for recognizing that something was getting in the way of doing homework and taking the action necessary to help him be successful! Thank you for writing and congrats on your little miracle. Enjoy your kids!
