[quote=Anonymous]I have three kids and every single one of them (two NT and one SN) was resistant to homework in kindergarten.  But, fact is the schools assigned it.  (All three went to different schools).  What I did was gave them some control - it needs to be done, but you get to make the plan as to how it will be done.  That included what time of the day, how much each day, where in the house it would be done, what color pencil to use, etc.  I also sat with them until they were ok being on their own.

One thing about having three (and they are all five years apart) is that after the first, I really saw the value of having taught them that school work had to be done.  By middle school, when other battles were beginning, homework never made the list of problems.

One last thing.  My SN child has a no homework clause in his IEP.  So we have control over whether or not to do homework and how much.  He does 100% every week.  Sometimes we have to exercise the right of extended time.  But none of it is skipped.  [/quote]
