The thing that works best is breaking everything down into tiny little pieces instead of looking at it like one big mountain. Set a fixed time slot every day (like twenty minutes in the morning) and that's it - summer assignments shouldn't be the drama of the day anyway. If your kid procrastinates, try tying the assignments to something fun afterward, like playing outside or watching an episode of something they like. The real win is keeping things light and not letting them turn into a battle.
The really important trick is not to get caught up in perfectionism, because that's what kills your motivation more than anything else. Maybe you start with the best intentions to do everything "right", but then one day you slip up, you feel guilty, and it all falls apart. Better to have a sustainable pace even if it's a bit loose rather than a rigid plan that hits you with anxiety the moment you break it. If you can break the assignments down into short sessions without pressure (you don't need perfection with summer homework), your brain doesn't see them as torture but as a routine, and you basically get them done without all the suffering.
