[quote=Anonymous]I have a 9 year old and I'm reading this with interest. At what age should a kid be doing homework unassisted? My son doesn't get much homework. I let him decide whether he does it in the evening or in the morning. I help him if he need/wants help. I am sure that my DH thinks I help too much, but DS and I don't have much conflict about homework. He's also pretty honest becuase he knows I won't make him do it if he doesn't want to. He says, "I have 2 math worksheets, but I don't want to do them." and I say, "Well, what will Miss M say? Will it be a big deal? Will you have to do it at recess?" And he says, "Well, OK, I'll do it." We do have conflict about other things (him wanting to eat fruit snacks right at bedtime, him wanting to stay and play with his friends at school for hours while I stand around watching in the cold, him showing favoritism to one of his brothers. . . ).
