Mon fils faisait ses devoirs uniquement quand je restais collée à lui, et c'était épuisant. Grâce aux stratégies de ce cours, il commence à s'organiser seul et les disputes du soir ont nettement diminué. J'ai adoré l'idée de l'aider à se motiver de l'intérieur plutôt qu'à coups de rappels constants.

Oğlumun ödev konusunda sürekli dırdır etmeden çalışmasını istiyordum ama nasıl yapacağımı bilmiyordum. Bu kurs, çocuğa kendi sorumluluğunu vermeyi ve onu içten motive etmeyi adım adım anlatıyor. En çok hoşuma giden kısım, çalışma alışkanlıklarını küçük rutinlerle oturtma yöntemiydi, gerçekten işe yaradı. Artık akşamları masaya kendisi oturuyor ve ben sürekli arkasında durmak zorunda kalmıyorum. Dikkat dağınıklığını yönetme bölümünü biraz daha derin isterdim açıkçası. Yine de genel olarak ailemizin akşamlarını çok rahatlattı, kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

Meu filho finalmente faz a lição sozinho sem que eu precise ficar cobrando o tempo todo.
