Homework is a very useful tool to improve children's education, assess properly the education use and motivate further learning. Usually homework purposes include: children's independent practice in what has been learnt at school; self-education practice when children are assigned to do find and learn some new information independently; development of reading and writing skills when children are assigned to read something new or write a thesis/term paper/summary/book review etc. All of the homework purposes listed above have one common goal which must be achieved for children's success in future - self-development. Self-development skill includes time management, self-organization, planning and self-control. If the children are able to develop these skills they will inevitably be successful employees, businesses, officials etc. in a future. Thus, parents should bear in mind that homework is sometimes much more important than class work and, therefore they should be involved in the homework process at least once a week.

First, parents should demonstrate their interest in children's education process. Here parents' interest does not mean control because many parents think they are involved in children's study by repeating the questions 'How is your school'? or 'what marks have you got today'? or 'have you done your homework yet'? The right questions would be 'May I help you with your homework'? or 'You can ask me your maths questions because I love maths.' Some parents find it difficult to manage homework help for their children. Here the school visit and teachers' communication would be very helpful because teachers are always pleased to see parents' interest and would be glad to encourage parents by giving him some advice.

If parents can clearly understand the importance of homework it becomes a very good and useful tool to develop their children and succeed at school. Parents should understand that homework teaches children how to be independent and responsible. Sometimes children think homework is boring due to some reasons: they cannot find the resources needed for homework; they want to spend out-of-school time by playing and going out; they associate homework with their class study and do not want to continue studying after school. Knowing all these reasons may help parents make children's homework process easy and fun. Parents can help children with resources search and finding and they are able to make study process fun. If your child does not like reading start reading yourself! Show your great interest in the book you are reading and your child will definitely ask you: 'What are you reading about? What's so fun in it'?

Children are much more interested in activities demonstration rather than words. Parents should not be lazy in demonstrating interest in study, and homework will not be seen so bad and boring.
