Growing up, I know I was a chore for my parents, especially when it came to sitting down at the kitchen table and working on my math homework. My brother, on the other hand, had no problem sitting down and working on a page of problems. My parents tired a bunch of different tactics to get me to sit down (I remember being offerd an extra 30 minutes before bedtime if I finished my work before 7 p.m.), and now Montville Patch wants to know what works for you.

What works? What doesn't?

Is your successful technique different for different children? 

What do your kids say motivates them?
