[quote=Anonymous]You need to sit down next to her with a stopwatch while you read a book. When she starts math homework start timer and end timer when she finishes. Write down the time. Make sure she is not texting or looking at websites, etc. Do this with all subjects. My daughter was taking hours to do homework -like from 4:30 to 11:30. I made her sit at kitchen table next to me and took her phone away and monitored her computer. The one week I did this homework averaged 2 1/2 hours. One night was three hours but another night was 90 minutes. If she really is taking hours and hours you can go to the school with data to ask if this is the expected load. Hours and hours of homework time is wasted texting and goofing around online- kind of like what I am doing now on DCUM instead of putting laundry. During the week I sat with her, her phone never stopped pinging from text messages.[/quote]
