Here’s 3 quick ways to make homework time less stressful (for kids and parents):

1) Set a 10-minute “start timer” (starting is the hardest part)
2) Pick just one subject to begin, then take a short break
3) Ask, “What do you understand so far?” before jumping in to correct
4) Focus on progress, not just perfection

You’ve got this. And so do they.

Save this for tonight and share with another parent or guardian who may need it.
