Do you know how to handle your kids when they make their homework? As what I have read, we must not get mad fast when kids doesn't know how to make their homeworks instead explain it to them and if ever they still don't get it give the answer but try to explain it why. Important, praise them whenever they have made their work that makes them relax & encourage.

The first and most important step in handling children with their homework is to make sure they understand the task at hand. From personal experience, a child will become a lot more difficult to handle if they do not know fully what they need to do. They will become upset, scared, frustrated and angry with themselves. Talking to them about what they need to do to achieve the objectives of the homework task will ensure that they remain calm and happy thoughout the homework task.
The second important way to handle the homework is to ensure that the children have access to the resources that they need to complete their homework, such as relevant books or websites. The Internet is crawling with a wide range of resources on all topics at all school levels, so it definately pays to be aware and know of the relevant websites for your child's education.
I am also all for children being encouraged to learn by themselves but to go to adults when they need extra help. Allowing the child to explore and learn along with the appropriate guidance will allow the child to slowly develop their thinking skills. Patience and love will indeed go a long way with them, so don't get angry with them. Guide them through their learning the right way, and your labour of love and patience shall be rewarded
