Q:
My son in 6th standard is very argumentative and we often argue because of his disinterest in studies.Help
He is intelligent and has a quick grasping power but is lazy and does not apply himself as he should.He also often gives illogical reasons for doing things and is great at procrastination.I work long hours and we barely have time to eat and study at night and this time we spend on fruitless arguments instead of finishing work quickly and getting some personal time together.

I'm sorry to hear about your frustration with your son. Many students develop their interest in school at different ages. Some students are more interested in school than others. That's just a fact of life. Positively discussing your goals for him every night will help assist you in the process of getting him to happily complete his homework. Set a schedule. Dinner first, school work second, and then a fun activity of his choice so you can spend quality time together. Instead of calling him lazy and illogical, you may want to praise him for little steps which get him closer to your goal.
I'm sending you an article about how to communicate effectively with your son. He will hear you more if he thinks you aren't judging or putting him down. I know it's frustrating when you are a parent and need to get him to complete some homework and he isn't complying.

The next one is homework help.

This refers to teaching your child self-discipline.
