How to motivate 6 year old to do homework?

Answer #1

I went through this with both of my kids. When they got home from school, we had a short discussion, they’d have a snack, then we’d get to work. Gold stars may sound cliche, but they work very effectively. After they got enough of them, they could “cash in” for toys or similar…no sweets, as that’s giving them very bad reinforcement which can lead to health issues later on in life.

Good luck.
