[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry that this is so hard. Can you make sure he has a good snack first. And then start with whatever is the easiest homework. I would try to be nearby to answer questions but not hovering where he is worried to make a mistake. Also, when you are both calm, have a discussion about how homework time can be more efficient and ask for his suggestions. Maybe music would help or setting a timer or a dedicated homework spot. I would also take the position that as long as he is actually doing the homework, he won’t have to do it for more than 20 minutes. You may also want to have a conversation with his teacher(s) to get a sense of which homework is a priority so you can focus on that and let the rest go. [/quote]
