One thing is to setup a time table. TV time for tv programmes, play time for play and homework time for homework. Off course the general rule is that, if homework is not finish in time, it will take up his play time and tv time.

Hm.....nice things and i think,it is easy to set up time table for everything isn't it? but, to really implement it, needs a lot of work, commitment,discipline etc isn't it?
Moreover, if the kid is very naughty and doesn't obey you, it becomes still tougher for anyone isn't it? In that case, how do you tackle the situation then?
Anyway's, thanks for responding

Um.. well, I think a child as a student should have his own study space in the house. His own study table, place where can place his charts, time tables on the table, his to-dos,
if he likes listening to music, you should let it play in the background at low volume.

Nice way of arranging things...good.But, do you think that everything will look ok as you thought? ifyour children are cool by nature and very obedient, then maybe this will work or otherwise, this may be difficult...don't you think so?

Hm....One way of making your child do his home work? but, is it all/ do you think that every child will behave in the same manner? most of the childreen these day's are very naughty and i don't think they can succumb to your things here....
They might create more troubles....who know's....

Ha....Ha.....do you think it will work for this new kids on the block...maybe to very little extent as i think, handling these naughty kids will be an experience and have to be learn in a very hard way as things maynot be easy anymore unless you have children of very quite nature and very obedient....
Thanks for responding

He....this is niceOne can think of this also to make them work.But, you cannot do this everytime..isn't it? once in a while it's ok...but, if they start demanding everytime...then what? you will have to think of all the possible outcomes before coming to any conclusion isn't it? maybe that, if more people respond to this, you will have more idea's..isn't it?
Anyway's, thanks for giving your inputs here....

My children are in the habit of getting a snack when they come home and then immediately starting on homework. They know that they can't do anything else (eg talk on the phone, play video games, etc) until their homework is done. I started that early on, so it's just part of what they do, and they usually don't even think of doing anything else before.
If it's a nice day out, though, I may let them play outside for 45 min or so. Or if they seem to have excess energy that they need to burn off.
I agree with an earlier poster who said to make it fun. Stay involved. I help my kids study their math facts, spelling words, geography, etc. I am always available if they need help or have questions. I know not everyone is able to do this, but if you can give them even just a bit of time, it is beneficial to them, I think.

Oh...nice to hear all these views of yours.One thing i like in you is the way you keep yourself available for your kids for any kind of assistance.... as these day's, more and more parents are involved in busy life and are not in a position to spare much time to their children isn't it? i definitely think that parents should give their children their own space for sometime atleast and children do need their parents time for sure....anyway's, thanks for sharing your views....
