CONNECTED PARENTING EPISODE 90 – Homework

Your kids have been at school all day and then they've probably had after school programs, so by the time they sit down to do their homework at night, they are fried, they are tired, and they don't want to do it. The odd child already has their homework done and is bringing it to you to sign off on but that's very rare.Most kids procrastinate, drag their heels and refuse to do it. Some kids in fact, many kids would rather have a complete meltdown. They would rather scream, yell and get in to a big fight with you than sitting down and doing the 15 minutes of homework. In today's episode we are talking all about homework and I am sharing a few things we have to be aware of if we want the daily process to run smoothly.
