I don't know about you, but I have a hard time believing those parents that tell me they don't have to help their children with homework. They report that their kids happily start their homework soon after they get home and stick with it until it’s done. My kids certainly didn’t work that way and I spent a lot of time managing homework which left me little time to do the other things that needed to be done. And even though I thought it would get better the older my kids got, things didn't change. From personal experience and research, I found there are seven behaviors that typically keep kids from completing homework independently and what can be done about them.
I love the holidays and spending time with my family but dread all the extra work that goes along with the season: sending cards, hosting parties, buying presents, attending parties. It’s not that I don’t like doing those things. I really do. It’s just that I would like some extra time to fit it into my already busy schedule.
This year, I’ve figured out how to get it all done in 5 easy steps
