[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tread carefully. You need to teach your child work habits. If he's coming in with unfinished HW and everyone isn't, he's going to stand out and internalize that. The suggestions about setting a timer and prioritizing work are good starters. By the time he's in older elementary, he could develop a case of learned helplessness. By the time they get to middle school, HW is not busy work and kids need to do it to keep up with the class. [/quote] Of course every kid is different but I agree with this. My DC learned early on that homework was going to take 2x as long as most other kids. That's continued right through HS. We also found that it was a good way to make sure DC really understood what was being taught in the classroom.[/quote]
