Making Homework Painless

1 ½ - 2 hours

The amount of a student’s homework significantly impacts what he/she will be able to do after school. This homework can also impact the evening activities for the rest of the family. There are times when the amount of homework actually hinders any opportunity to enjoy a family type activity.

Most parents are not comfortable with the role of becoming the “home teacher”. Parents feel they have been put into the position of pushing and prodding their children to start or finish homework. How much assistance is too much assistance? Merely determining whether or not your children have homework increases your stress level. This training will assist parents in structuring and streamlining the homework precess. Parents will come away with effective homework strategies which can be implemented immediately.
