Otanetix It might be helpful if you give her some incentive to learn other subjects. For instance, you can reward her efforts in her difficult subjects with something she wants. If not that, you can try to motivate her to learn the difficult subjects by making a...

Otanetix I think that your son needs to know the importance of doing homework. It might be helpful to even motivate him about why students are assigned homework. Anyway, you can tell him homework is something that will help him in the future when he becomes older....

Otanetix When I am with family, watching TV with them helps. If I can't think of something to talk to them about, I usually try having us watch a movie just to pass the time. I don't know if that's the best way to bond for me and my family, but it also helps them just...
