[quote=Anonymous]We give 10-12 minutes of homework to our 1st grader - math worksheet, spelling worksheet, and two pages of reading — almost every day. We do not flex just because of recalcitrance or whining, but we do skip on rare occasions if he is sick with fever or such like. At first, there was a lot of resistance, and it sometimes took her 30 minutes to do 10 minutes of work. Now, there is not much resistance, because she knows we will not back down and also because now it feels “normal” to her. She is done in 10 minutes and gets more play time afterwards.[/quote]
