[quote=Anonymous]Distraction and bribery. Well, not exactly. But I found that I had to make the environment attractive to my kids to get them into the routine. Once it's a routine, it's much easier. I have them do it on the kitchen bench while I clean up and give them a snack. When they're little, they might need you to sit with them. Ask him what you can do together to make it more fun. Offer a nice drink or snack, maybe have a game out ready so he can see it and know you will go straight to that once it's done. Basically, do whatever you can to urge him on and help him. Let him know the teacher is expecting it. Don't fight with him, though. I did that with my kids' music practice (even getting the instrument ready) and it just helped to get over the hump and into a routine (so I now don't need to do it, but sometimes I still do as I think they have busy lives and a little help shows I understand).[/quote]
