Just a suggestion, maybe you can personally assist him in doing his homeworks daily. Also, it might help if you teach him or her on how to manage his time properly. For example, After work, take merienda first and change clothes. After that, do the homework and review for tomorrow's lessons. A little bit of TV time or break. Dinner. So on and so forth. And of course, don't yell at the kid if he or she is slow to pickup the lessons. Patience will pay off. :) Hope this piece of advise will help. You might also want to wait for other parents' tips.
