Watch for signs of frustration and fatigue. Make sure the homework isn't too difficult. If your child asks for help, help with the homework but don't give the answers. Give them guidance. Speak to the teacher if the homework is too difficult or it takes them too long to get through the things.
Homework has the potential of teaching kids how to be life-long independent learners.
