How do I get them to do their homework without yelling at them?

school bags for kids girls image

I have four kids; Boy 8, girl 6, boy 4, boy 4. The younger ones are twins. The elder two give me the toughest of times, not that I am not part of the circus. Need tips and advice.

Answer
Sit down with them when it's time to do it. All of you sit together at the table. Look at the stuff in their back packs together. Put out some snacks and drinks, and then just sit there and watch them do it. It's tempting and sometimes even seems necessary to be up and about in the house taking care of other things. But, honestly, this is most important. When you take the time to sit there with them, then they'll think that homework must be that important. I never did this with my kids, and my kids always avoided homework and did a crappy job when they did do it. Then I watched a friend. I noticed that after her kids got home from school, she would sit at the table with them, they'd go through their bags together. They'd discuss the homework and she would sit there and watch them until they were done. Everything else waited. Her kids did very well throughout their school years. Wish I'd have known that simple trick early on....
