Solutions To Homework Hassles
May 18, 2021“I had made it all about me. I had somehow put this in this category of I was going to get judged or I was going to be a bad parent if my child's homework wasn't done, if it wasn't done to my standards and if it wasn't turned in on time.”
This week on the 3D Parent Podcast, we are talking about the dreaded homework struggle. Truth be told, I thought that I would not have a problem supporting my child with her education, but low and behold, my first born gave me a run for my money.
Throughout the episode, I share my personal struggle with my child and her homework, and the steps I took to remove myself from the homework equation in an effort to help her become an independent learner and to keep our relationship intact.
I also include some tips surrounding how to support your child and provide them with all the necessary tools they may need, without stepping in and bailing them out of figuring it out for themselves. I would love to know if you try any of these tips and how they work for you!
