[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get home at 5:30, so we have a bit more time, but we just folded this into our after-dinner routine. DH cleans the dishes and watches our youngest while my K daughter and I do the homework in the kitchen.

So far, so good. I'm sure there will be nights when it is challenging. I think if that happens, we'll scrap it and do our best in the morning.

It's OK, OP. It will all become routine after a few weeks. Hang in there. [/quote]

Same.  One of us would have our Ker do HW while eating a snack, while the other walked the dog or got dinner started.  No biggie, and kid actually like it, since it was part of after school routine since PK3.  Not sure it was always a full 20 minutes per day, though.

I agree OP’s kid may be experiencing some anxiety, which may be more of the issue at this point.  Hopefully that’ll get better as the school routine gets more esstablished over the few weeks [/quote]

The frustration of trying to log onto a system that is not working is hard for a 5 year old.   They have built it up in the classroom that they have something to do on the computer and they have now failed since they were told they need to do something and they did not.

Clearly this is not the reality - but messaging as interpreted by a 5 YO is different than how an adult will deal with it b/c they have more life experiences.  [/quote]
