Self-Evaluation

from shop.atozteacherstuff.com

Encourage your child to look at what they've done before claiming that they are finished. They need to be able to say,"This is my best work because..."If they know what's expected and they believe thay have done just that, they need to be able to verbalise it.

Another way to help children see how well they have done their work is to use a rubric. A rubric is similar to checklist in that it is a list of skills, but it also includes a rate scale to gauge how well each item was completed.

Competence to Quality

Learning how to produce work doesn't happen overnight. Yet determining why quality is important can be equally challenging task.

Even if you expect quality,  you may need to give your child time to work up to understand why quality is important.

Learning why is the first step. Doing competent work follows next. Once your child can prove that he can do competent work, a commitment to improvement is what will lead to quality.

What you need to do is to encourage this process, but don't mandate it. Guiding our children to do quality work because it ultimately improves their lives is the reason to do it. Making it more enjoyable should be the goal, and never just because "I" say so.
