my son forgets homeworks, every one says to beat him so that he will not forget. Is it right?

Answer 1

wow. You do not have to beat him.
You can use either negative or positive reinforcement.
Everytime he forgets his homework, punish him (no t.v.)
Everytime he remember his homework, give him a star or something, that will lead up to a "prize" at the end of the week. Beating your kids seems like a good solution, but it messes them up in adulthood.

Answer 2

No.

I have learned from raising my two sons that hitting your kid never works.

Maybe your son has a problem with his memory or his homework -either way don't expect him to explain the problem like an adult. Take your time and try to work it out with him, think if you were your son how would you like to be treated? If you want your son to like and respect you, you have to at least respect him now.

Yes I do use discipline, if my sons forget their homework they know that they will lose some of their privileges, there are consequences but the punishment has to match the crime. Of course I talk to them about it, just to see if it's a one time lapse or the beginning of a bigger problem. I always remind them that they have some control over the situation, they earn their privileges by doing their best at school and home.

Overall just ask yourself, when was the last time you were beaten into doing the right thing?

Answer 3

Do not beat him.

It would be better to punish him in other ways, such as restrict TV, or take away some other privilege for a time.

Does your son have some reason to "forget" his homework? Is it a way of getting attention, however negative? Before rushing to the psychologist, be sure that he is positively recognized for the things he is doing right.

Answer 4

Okay first I have never been a fan of children being beat. So I would say no to that. Second I had the same problem with my daughter but found out that she has ADD. Now if you know there is no chance of that then I would make him write it down everyday in class and have a teacher sign off on it. This will make it easier for you to see that he has it everyday. If that doesnt work then definately talk to your childs teacher. As for punishment, he is pretty much punishing himself even though that is not enough, start with something that he loves and work from there. My daughter loves TV and her Phone so those are usually first to go.
Sorry if I didnt help much.

Answer 5

OMG! beat!? HELL NO! i have an 8 year old who... like yours forgets homework often also *i like in the state of alaska* he would lose or forget his hat or gloves, take privalages away, make up consequences for him forgetting his homework, mine LOVES his game boy, i take that away, HE LOVES playing with friends i take that away and if he starts whining because of the consequence i tell him to go to his room so i don't have to listen to it, maybe if he would remember things he wouldn't be in the situation in the first place, i don't know how old your son is, but beating and spankings are NOT a good way to punish your children......you are the parent,you make the rules. another idea, make up some homework of your own, i have a lot of workbooks and on those days i give him a # of pages to do, i make up my own spelling words, DO NOT MAKE IS FUN, don't say oh jimmy u forgot your homework i am not happy with you, then continue to allow him the same privlages, OR another thing with my son was we bribed him with pokemon cards, everyday he didn't get into trouble in class he would get a pokemon card, he loves it.... there are many ways to help your son remeber things, and FYI it is a Boy/kid thing, they WILL grow out of it eventually but if you continue to allow them to be lazy, you will have a lazy bum of an adult in a few years.

Answer 6

no no no no no beating is not the answer. my child has a notebook he must bring home everyday and return to school everyday. if he forgets it he looses out on thing he can't wait to do when he gets home, like video games or the computer or t.v. sometimes all of those things. i know it will be hard to live without tose things yourself. but try it my son forgot his book on tine in 2 years, thats because i took away the things he did remember and that cought his attention right away. now he will not forget his notebook.

Answer 7

NOOOO you freak! Call his teaxcher and have her call you every time he forgets his homework. Then when he gets home isn't allowed to play video games or watch TV that night. When he does do it praise him. Mabe a dollar every night he does it? See what you can come up with but DO NOT harm a hair on his head or you will end up behing bars when his teacher asks him what the red marks on his arm are from.

Answer 8

you can do the following to determine if he is really forgetting or just don't want to do it. Just watch his normal daily routine and, the make a pattern of the first 3 thing he take priority in doing, ofcourse excluding his homework, then like for intance: if he like TV a lot you can print the word homework first and place it in his face in from of the wall where he is watching Tv or computer etc... so he is constantly reading it and acting it. you can also place the print out in from of the refrigerator when he is going to read it if he opens it., in the bathroom wall and all over his room, colorful and all fonts so he ca get the picture. good luck.

Answer 9

How can beating be right! We parents should not forget that in education, the teachers are the front wheel and the parents are the rear wheel of a cycle. Unless and until rear wheel moves, the front wheel will not move.

Best of luck.

Answer 10

Yes I agree. Corporal punishment tend to work more than any other punishment until an extent. A spanking with a hand doesnt work. Alsom put him on punishment afterwards and make him do his homework through the whole weeked until things start to change.
