During the many conferences I have had over the years, homework is often mentioned as a troublesome area for parents and students alike. Here are some suggestions for supervising your child's homework, organized by category. Expectations Set aside a specific time and place to do homework each day.
Some children concentrate better with music or background noise.
Define consequences for undone homework before it happens. You may want to create a homework contract with your child that clearly spells out rules. Supervision Check your child's assignment book, planner, or agenda for assignments, projects and tests. Don't try to be an expert in every subject area. Encourage labelling of homework with textbook page numbers, dates, etc.
