[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. Kid is 7 and by flash cards I mean working on memorizing sight words because I've been told that's the only way to get the beginning ones down. I mainly wanted to hear about logistics of making time for the work and for getting the kid over whatever psychological barrier he has about doing work.[/quote] We do it by having a routine, set time and place, kitchen table for us. My kid is 9 and he has to get homework done and practice his hobby, chess, for at least an hour before he can play video games or whatever. Works for us. No arguments because that's just the way it is. For chess, he gets a reward for every 100 points he improves in lessons using an app. Set concrete goals so that he knows what to aim for and give a prize for every goal he meets. Structure and routine is the key. Good luck![/quote]
