[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Most homework at that age is busywork. [b]However, your child does need to learn how to sit down and work at something he doesn't necessarily like for a set duration.[/b] This is crucial, and what will make it easier is if he can do this every single day at the same time - the routine will be set and he won't resist so much - I've been there, done that with my kids! Make him sit down and work for 15 minutes every day. Doesn't matter if all the homework does not get done. Consider it an exercise in discipline.[/quote] They do that at school.[/quote] It's about setting a routine and getting a child used to doing homework at home. When the homework actually matters, you can't expect them to magically know how to do it. Hence, homework at early ages. [/quote] This is what junior high is for. That, and getting junior high kids segregated away from the rest of us.[/quote]
