'I'm leaving him alone to make mistakes because I finally remembered that failure is just a part of life.'
. . . and he was not a fan. I'd nag him to do it, he'd whine and put off, and on and on we went till he was tearfully filling out worksheets and I was exhausted.which emphasizes the importance of placing ownership onto the child. I realized I wasn't doing that with my son. To him, it likely felt like I was the one in control. I'd nag him about when and where he needed to do his homework — usually right after school and at the kitchen counter .
Honestly, I was waiting for the novelty of this to wear off, but it hasn't. And looking back, it makes sense. Just like most kids, my son was exhausted after school and didn't even want to think about homework once he got home. He just wanted to be a kid. In the mornings, he's fresh and rested. There are plenty of adults who perform better in the morning, so it makes total sense that kids would, too. Plus, it seems likein the morning helps get him mentally prepared for school.
The best part about me backing off with my son's homework is how our relationship has improved. Before, I was a badgerer, and how awful that must have felt for my son. But now, I'm treating him a little more like a growing human with. I'm leaving him alone to make mistakes because I finally remembered that failure is just a part of life. And it's how we bounce back from those mistakes that make us who we become as adults. Sure, my son will need my guidance along the way . . .
