Sharing this article so we all know what to look out for.

One thing I’ve found helpful is incorporating simple games as a break or reward. It doesn’t have to be directly educational, just something to give them a mental break.

For example, I use spider solitaire as a quick, fun activity. It’s great for getting their minds off schoolwork for a bit and keeps them interested without feeling like they’re doing more work.

Sometimes its better to understand why they do not want to do homework rather than forcing them to do.


Some of my kids do not like certain subjects because they are bad at certain topics hence they do not like doing homework. So yes, finding exactly what they are bad at and helping them solve that problem would be much better than focing them to do something they do not understand anything at all.

Alternatively, you could try to google some games, online there are many math and science games but they are abit too simple for SG education system.

Something i like to do is to give my kids more breaks and for every set of question they solve quickly, i give them some form of reward like more rest time etc. Maybe, you could create a point system for your kid, like every qustion he solves he gets 5mins of gaming time or something then at least it motivates him to do his homework 🙂
