[quote=Anonymous]Teach him some ways to attack it, let him pick it, compliment him profusely for being such a smart planner when he does it. You can show him he has options, like knock it all out on one day (and talk about which day he has the most time). Or teach him to divide it up into 4 chuck and do it Monday-Thursday. Talk about the pros and cons of both. Talk through how much he feels like doing homework Friday and Saturday. Talk through how realistic it is to wait for Sunday, or use Sunday as a back up. He’s old enough to understand all these concepts. Take him out for hot cocoa if you think it needs to be a special conversation. My kids learned to treat school like their job and have great executive function skills. You just have to talk out the things that go through your head. That’s enough to teach them out to think [/quote]
