So make your children feel good about doing their homework and prepare their favorite treat for them like dump cake. Make sure they have a space where they can do their homework without any distractions or noise, and make sure they have all the school supplies they need. See that they do not have their phone close by, the TV is turned off, and that they are not playing video games. Let them do their homework on their own, but check in from time to time and ask how they are doing in case they need some help.
