[quote=Anonymous]It depends a lot on the kid. One of my kids is very disciplined about his homework and I rarely have to say anything to him about doing it. He always gets it done and he manages a sport and extracurriculars too. Whatever downtime he wants, in whatever order he wants to do it, is fine with me. On the other hand, I have a kid who loves to socialize online and would basically rather do anything other than study. She is 13. What we do is talk to her after school each day and ask what homework she has, tests and quizzes the next day, etc. Then we come up with a plan together that takes this into account. On nights when she's got more homework we insist she start some of it before dinner. FWIW, we eat dinner later in our house anyway, so the kids generally start there homework before then. The rule is homework must be done before any after dinner TV watching or screen time.[/quote]
