What to Do If Your Child Consistently Avoids Homework

Is your child frequently skipping homework, and you're receiving constant messages from their teacher? Here are three key factors that could be affecting their homework habits—and how to address them!
1️⃣ Organisation
If your child is disorganised, they may not even know what their homework is. Help them:
✔️ Keep a student diary to track assignments
✔️ Maintain neat and structured subject notes
✔️ Develop a daily homework routine
2️⃣ Motivation
Sometimes, kids don’t see the value in completing homework. Encourage them by:
✔️ Discussing their long-term goals and career interests
✔️ Connecting school subjects to real-world applications
✔️ Setting achievable study targets together
3️⃣ Understanding
A lack of understanding can lead to avoidance. If your child struggles with a subject:
✔️ Communicate with their teacher for extra guidance
✔️ Consider external support, such as tutoring or peer study sessions
✔️ Foster a growth mindset—learning takes time!
