Helping Your Child Deliver Quality Homework
Does your child rush through homework assignments making careless errors and submitting sloppy assignments? Does this frustrate you because YOU KNOW she is capable of quality work?
Our Expert Tip:
Try breaking the homework process and individual assignments into a “task analysis.” In other words, break an assignment into steps and teach your child how to use a checklist to check for quality in each step. Over time increase the number of steps she must complete to access reinforcement (i.e. a break). Vary reinforcement at each correctly completed step with verbal praise, breaks, and edibles. This method will make your child aware of all the details that go into completing a quality assignment. Learning to complete assignments in this stepwise manner will over time with success become an acquired skill. Soon, she may learn to manage several steps at once without redirection.
