If you are nagging your child to do his homework, and making sure he does it, you are taking responsibility for his homework
. And if you are taking responsibility, he doesn’t have to. When will you stop taking responsibility? Grade 10? Grade 11? University? You might want to stop now. That doesn’t mean you wash your hands of him. You can support him in a way that still encourages him to step up.First, hand the responsibility back to him. I would start by telling him, “I love you too much to fight about homework.” You can say, “This is your life.
Next, help him think about the future. Many kids actually do have an idea of what they’d like to do when they grow up. But they haven’t necessarily thought about how to get there. Helping him think about this can help him develop self-motivation. For example, one of my sons hopes to get a scholarship to play baseball in university and dreams of playing professionally. He doesn’t care much about school or grades.
