Homework tips? Talk amongst yourselves.
Posted on August 31st, 2007 in Parenting
Jill from Atlanta had a wonderful idea: while I get back on my feet posting-wise, how about a little open discussion about homework tips? Most of us are likely in the grace period before the big-time assignments, so let’s talk about ideas for getting off to a good start.
Some ice-breakers:
- Where and when does your child do homework? Right after school at the kitchen table? After a snack at a desk? Before bed? Early morning? What combo seems to work for you?
- Any tips for keeping the homework area stocked and organized?
- Do you do homework with your child, or are you only available as an as-needed resource? I never recall asking my parents for homework help, but it seems that it’s a family affair these days, and I’m not sure why. (We’re still homework newbies around here.)
All other ideas welcome!
