[quote=Anonymous]Does she read at other times during the day? My kids wake up early so they usually read after breakfast since we also don’t have tv during the week. If she does read other times I would count that as homework. To be honest, I would count you reading to her also. Pushing reading too hard can make a kid dislike it. Some kids do need to unwind after school. Tell her she gets 20 minute iPad time or 1 22 minute show. If she whines when it goes off, she loses the privilege the next day. Don’t let her earn it back. Sit with her to do the math packet while she has the snack. Try to make it fun and be silly with her too. It’s a long day for these kids![/quote]
