[quote=Anonymous]Let me preface this comment by saying I am very involved in DD's school, I communicate regularly with her teacher, and have high expectations for her to work hard at academics. Having said that, I don't take any extraordinary measures to "get her to do homework." I tell her she needs to do it, and provide time and space for it. I don't correct it. Her teacher needs to know if she is not understanding something. And I do not engage in battles over it. If it doesn't get done, she faces the consequences from her teacher. We used to fight over it, but now that I have removed myself from the equation, she does her homework every night. She is in aftercare or at an extracurricular activity every school night, so often does not start homework until 5:30. But she is in 5th grade, so never has more than an hour of homework. [/quote]
