sarvesh first home work

Sarvesh tells almost 5 to 10 rhymes, he always plays mix and matches the rhymes. He uses to mix two or three rhymes together with the same tune. It is so nice to hear those mixed rhymes. For example, he mix first two lines of ABCD rhyme with last three lines of Are you sleeping rhyme. I felt so surprise to see him like this. But one day I really felt so hard to handle him with his first home work.

His teacher asked him to write straight lines in a four ruled notebook. They have provided two dot and ask him to connect these two lines. On Oct 21st, they gave him the first homework. It was my worst weekend then ever before with my Sarvesh.

The minute I say Sarvesh shall we write, he will say he is hungry, after food, he will say i want to sleep. After sleep, if I ask him, shall we write he will say he wants to write only with his Dad. I lost my patience, two days went like this.

He wrote one straight line thro the page and asked me the rub the unwanted lines. Got so irritated with his activities, but it’s a better idea though.

Sarvesh’s dad told me, not to compel him to write his home work. I m so worried, because we need to make a habit of writing to him at this age, he will gonna complete three yrs after few months.

Finally, I told him if you write your homework, I will give my IPOD to play. He said ok, I will play for some time and then I will write. So he played for few hours, then I asked him shall we write. He said he is not interested to write and he wants to play. I lost my temper and I shouted at him.

He politely told me “Sorry Mummy, I will write”, so I made everything ready, pencil and notebook ready. Suddenly he hit the pencil on the wall, the sharpness gone. He told me I can’t write with this pencil. Slowly he makes me irritated again, but still I hope he will write. Then i sharpen the pencil and his notebook is missing. I asked him where is your notebook, he told “kaka thookittu poochu” , really got irritated again and said its your wish to write, not write for me and I went to kitchen for my works.

After sometime, he comes to me and say that he will write, playing with IPOD in one hand and doing his homework in another hand.

Now I felt, only thing which is very difficult is to make your kid to do his homework. I need to find any different strategy to make him to do his homework J
