Deductions & credits

what should I do to increase my return next year. 

since this year my return was so low with two dependent children 10yrs and 16 yrs old ,  single and head of household .  Im only getting back $2,985  . 0n my return .. my wages for the year was $6,000

I understand I made only $6000 this year in wages and my withholding on my 1040 form was zero. 

should I change the amount  from zero to a higher amount for withholding on my 1040 W-2 form.  By doing this would it  increase my chances of getting more money next year on my return

I will still claim had a household with two children next year they will be 11 and 17.
