Why Your Child Hates Homework and School

Parents often complain: «I don’t know how to make my child do their homework. They just don’t want to.»

Why this happens and how to deal with it—read on in our slides.

If you want to give your child the chance to explore the IT field, bring them to a trial lesson. It’s free and doesn’t commit you to anything.

When do you think a child should be praised? Should it be when they’ve reached the goal or when they’re making an effort, even if the goal hasn’t been achieved yet?

For example, a child aimed to score 100 points on a math test. They studied hard but only got 70.

🙂 — Praise the child for their effort. It’s important to keep them motivated so they don’t feel like they can’t succeed and give up. Positive reinforcement for small steps is essential.

😎 — Praise only for results. Otherwise, the child might lose sight of the goal halfway. It’s important to maintain high standards so they find ways to achieve them. If praised during the process, the child may think that results aren’t necessary: «Why try harder if I’m already doing well?»

❌ — Neither of these, I’ll share my own opinion in the comments.

Beware, this post contains lots of cute kids and scary robots.

This post is a personal story from Vova Kornigor, the founder of the school. He shared a story that began when he was 7 years old, explaining why he created RTS.

What Vova is doing to ensure that future technologies like ChatGPT, self-service machines, or quantum computers won’t scare kids: Read, absorb, and get inspired.

And sign up for a free lesson at the school — if you want, of course. Still unsure? Well, a robot might eat you. Just kidding, it won’t.

By the way, don’t mind the overworked SMM manager. She’s dug up essential recommendations from child neuropsychologists and turned them into life hacks written in simple language. Practical, with examples of what to do and what not to do. Parents can start using them with their kids right away. Go check out the cards!

If you find the life hacks helpful, share them with other parents. Let’s put an end to homework struggles!

We’ve brought you a case study from Mom Alena. Her son Mark, 9 years old, is studying on the Minecraft course. We thought her review might help you make a decision if you’re considering joining us.

Do you ever catch yourself raising your child the same way you were raised — even though you swore you’d never do it?

You want to be patient, but when your child is being stubborn, you hear that familiar voice in your head: «How many times do I have to repeat myself?!», «If you keep acting like this, you’re not going anywhere!»

And then you realize — those aren’t your words. That’s what was said to you.

Even when we know it’s not the best approach, we still repeat familiar patterns from our childhood.

But is there another way?

The first step is to recognize the moment when you’re reacting on autopilot. The second is to do the opposite. Stop and look at the situation differently.

For example, your child spills juice. Frustration kicks in, and you think, «I just cleaned the floor!»

Try shifting from reaction to solution. Take a pause and ask, «How can we fix this?» Maybe, «What should we do? Do we need a napkin?»

This way, your child learns to find solutions, and you keep your peace of mind. When kids know they won’t be punished but helped, they learn faster and become more independent.

Many children come to their first lesson afraid of making mistakes. We show them that learning can be different.

If the first code doesn’t work, we analyze and fix it. If a design isn’t quite right, we refine and try again.

After class, kids leave with a spark of confidence in their abilities. To sign up for a lesson, follow the link in our profile.

There’s one subtle reason why a child might seem uninterested in anything.

Check this list:
1. The child always has a cartoon or tablet on.
2. There’s always someone nearby entertaining them.
3. As soon as everything is turned off, they say: «I’m bored».
4. Sometimes the child gets fussy, can’t just sit or wait calmly.

They often ask, «Can I have the phone?»

If this sounds like your child — they might be missing something important: boredom. It may sound odd, but in order for a child to develop their own drive to create, explore, or do something — they need time alone with themselves.

At first, it might look like poking at the dirt with a stick or wandering aimlessly around the room. But gradually, thoughts begin to form:
«What do I want?»
«What can I do?»
«What interests me?»

Here’s how to start:
— Introduce one hour a day of «doing nothing»: no gadgets, no toys, no cartoons.
— Let the child decide what to do. Don’t offer ready-made ideas.
— Set an example: sit nearby with a book, without your phone.

Some kids spend hours just zoning out and wasting time — while others invest that time in their development.

Did you know that Minecraft and Roblox have everything needed for your child to actually learn?

– Learn to code
– Develop logic and systems thinking
– Create their own worlds and storylines

Many adults are only starting to learn how to code. But kids? They often learn faster than grown-ups:

– An adult might spend months learning HTML.
– A child can create a mini-game in Roblox in one evening. Not because they’re a genius — just because they’re interested.

This way, kids build a strong foundation in programming without even realizing it. They get into something useful and start unlocking their talents.

One child watches YouTubers play games. Another is already writing mods, scripts, building maps, and launching their own games. There’s a fine line between “playing” and “creating.”

Your child is going to love games no matter what. The real question is: will they just be chasing skins, or will they be learning to think, solve problems, and build their own worlds?

And here’s a fact few people know: most modern game developers started out
 by creating Minecraft mods.

It’s more than just a game. It’s hands-on practice in algorithms, logic, and systems thinking. And it all happens without pressure — no “come on, study” — just curiosity, excitement, and the freedom to explore.

And you don’t feel guilty :) You know what’s tricky about ordinary clubs? You think you’re dropping your kid off. You think you’re freeing up 2 hours.

But in reality:

Drive them there.

Wait in the car.

Stop by for a notebook, pencils, brushes.

Drive back.

And at the end, hear: “Mom, did you forget I need a costume for the play?”

💔 And that’s it. Your “two hours for yourself” are gone.

đŸ§‘â€đŸ’» With programming, it’s different.

No driving. Your child learns online, from home. They’re at the laptop, you’re watching your show. No traffic, no lines, no errands.

Everything’s ready. You don’t need to buy anything. No hunting down printouts, glue sticks, or costumes. The teacher sets it all up and explains everything.

Your kid does it all by themselves. You don’t sit next to them giving hints. They’re not calling for you every 5 minutes.

☝ Independence is a skill that gives you more than just peace and quiet.

They develop a sense of agency: they feel they can handle things without mom.

Their confidence grows — the project works, and they did it.

And they’re not afraid of mistakes. Because in programming, a mistake is part of the process — not a reason for yelling or bad grades.

đŸ€˜ And that’s real bliss. For them and for you.
