Most of you are in the first weeks of school. Do you have a homework routine? Choose a place in your home and a time that is consistent each day and you will find that your child will adjust to that routine and you won't fight the homework battles.

In our home when the kids were young, we would take time to get a snack and talk through the day after school, and then dig right into homework. Their brains are still working from the day and it was a good time to continue that focus. We all worked together at the table so that I could be there to support and monitor. Honestly, it ended up being a fun time of connection!
