Tell the grown-ups to back off-you can be trusted to do your homework without their help.An international study found children aged 7 to 10 were better at homework if left alone.The study's author，Assoc Prof （副教授）.Jaana Viljaranta，said parents helping every step of the way risked making their children lose interest in schoolwork.
"One possible explanation is that when the mother gives her child an opportunity to do homework autonomously （獨立地），the mother also sends out a message that she believes in the child's skills and abilities，" Assoc Prof Viljaranta said. "This in turn makes the child believe in him- or herself，and in his or her skills and abilities."
The academic（學業(yè)的） performance of 365 grade 2 and 4 students was compared with the amount of help they got from their mother and teacher as part of the study，which also involved Finland's University of Jyvaskyla.Success may also depend on kids，teachers and parents all talking about what needs to be done and what will work best for the kids.
Australian Primary Principals Association （APPA） president Dennis Yarrington said teachers and families needed to agree on how much help parents give and make sure kids know what the teacher expects. "Parents should encourage kids to seek further information from the teacher if they need it，"Mr Yarrington said.
"Homework should not cause tension（緊張） between family members， ，which causes a negative attitude towards further learning."
"When there is no homework to do，the best homework is to play，read or go for a walk with their parents."

3．One teacher praises a student by saying "You're so smart!" Another teacher says "You must have worked really hard at this!" Which student does better in school？Studies show that students who hear the words of the second teacher will do better.Those students are learning that their effort is important.
Psychologists（心理學家）looked at what students did after they were given different types of praise.Some students were told that they were good at a task.They didn't try very hard the next time.Other students were told that they had worked hard at a task.They worked even harder the next time.The first group of students was learning that they had a set amount of skill.They didn't think they could do any better.This is called a fixed mindset（思維模式）.The second group was learning that they could do better if they kept trying.This is called a growth mindset.People who have a growth mindset believe that the brain can grow；people can do better and learn new skills.If they work hard，they can be successful.
How can teachers and parents help students succeed？They can focus mainly on effort and not simply on ability.When students succeed，teachers and parents should praise the actual work rather than intelligence（智力）or talent.When students fail，they should be told how they can do better.Teachers，parents and students need to value effort，not intelligence.
