Encouraging my 9 year old with homework

[Purpleismyfsvouritecolour]

Hiya

Hoping someone can help. At school, my 9 year old daughter has to complete at home her Maths (times tables, addition/subtraction, spellings and reading) for 15 minutes each per week per subject. She also attends Kip McGrath to help her with Maths. In the week, I’m often telling her to do her learning at home, but she told me the other day I’m forcing her which made me feel awful. How do you all encourage your child to do her learning at home so they do it off their own back? I really struggled at school and as a result I did terribly in my GCSE’s which I don’t want for my little girl.

Thank you

Routine and habit.
Get home, wash hands, sit down at a table to have a small snack, wash hands again, get back to the table and do homework straight away. You sit down, next to her, and do work, planning , or read a physical book next to her.
In my experience, if you have a break between school and homework, such as playtime, park, or worse any type of screens, be it your phone in the car, or 10 min on the iPad, it will make it near to impossible.
We used to go to the library and take home the max amount of books we could and would then spend afternoon on the sofa reading them.

I was going to say set times for homework. I say I go to work, this is your job to go to school and do your homework.
