How to Get Your Kids to Do Their Homework

A new study says that to get kids to do their homework, we have to show them how homework is an investment in their future.  Students in the study who were told that higher education equals higher earnings were 8 times more likely to do their assignments than those who were not.  Showing kids that what they're doing now is linked to their future helps make homework feel practical and necessary.
