Sometimes kids resist doing homework just to be difficult because parents nag them. Often kids will hold it in their non-writing hand, and it helps them pay attention to homework. To help move things along, give kids a fidget toy, like a Tangle Junior or a stress ball. It’s on for three hours, but the players are only really doing anything for about an hour. When we tell them to, “Stop doing that!”, or take away whatever they are playing with, they often become what I call Superbowl Kids. The kids that have trouble staying focused are often fidgeters, who need tactile stimulation to tune in and calm down.
There are a few reasons that kids end up spending hours on homework: a difficulty getting and staying focused, defying mom and dad, or too much homework (for them).
