- Provide enough materials needed to do his homework. Your child must have paper, pencil, dictionary and other references except his textbook in school. If buying materials such as a dictionary and other references is not possible.
- Set specific time for doing his homework. It is very important to set a specific time when your child should be doing his homework daily.

- Do your housework as your child does his homework. Your role as parents is to mercy guide your child, not to do or answer his homework.
- Give rewards. If your child did his homework well and worked hard to finish it give a reward.
