[quote=Anonymous]My approach is this, we set a time limit for each assignment. I find shorter time limits work best. For example 10 mins for the reading sheet and let my child do as much as they can within that 10 mins. This time does not include getting mentally prepared for completing the task. I also ask my child if they want to do it out loud (reading and questions or saying the math problems) while I sit with them or if they prefer going it alone - depending on the assignments I will sometimes make them do it alone. After the 10 mins there is a short break and we move on to the next assignment. After we've spent 10 mins on all assignments we go back to the ones that need more attention. - unless it was a particularly bad experience. For us it's not about the material but rather the coping techniques for accomplishing a task. I hate homework outside of reading but the reality is they need to know how to deal with it and time management is very important. [/quote]
