Do you think it is a good idea?

How old is she and does she actually like doing homework? I think if she likes doing it, like my daughter does, there's nothing wrong with giving her a little bit to keep her occupied. But if she doesn't like it, I think you should let her choose what she wants to do. After all it is the holidays from school so I don't see why she should have to do it unless she really really wants to.

How old is your daughter? My son is 16 and I know if I gave him 2 hours worth (or any amount) of homework each day, he would probably run away LOL.

I think it's nice that you want to give her something educational to do. Have you talked to her about it? Depending on her age, you could go shopping with her for a book and maybe each morning she can sit and read for awhile.

How old is she? How much will you require she do? I mean if she doesnt get it done, will she be able to go to the beach with dad still? My daughter is 7 and going into the 3rd grad and LOVES school! She has all kinds of work books and since activities and I print off stuff here at work for her to do as she pleases. She loves to read too, and most of the time she choses that over TV. Or if she watches tv, have her watch DiscoveryKids or the DIscovery channel, or we have National Geographic on demand...both regular NG and KidsNationalGeographic. She chooses those alot too. Learning while being entertained.

Homework or activities is a great idea. I do that with my son a few times a week and when I can get him away from the TV lol

It is indeed a wise choice to make her updated with what she had learned and at the same time to prepare her for the next school year. But this is also the time that children are waiting to just get out of school activities and really have some fun. So I think you should be creative to give her something different from school which she would enjoy to do and at the same time she would learned something from it.

Ok she is nine and you would rather she do something constructive instead of vegetabilizing in front of the television. What sports or artistic interests does she like to participate in? If she loves outdoors, get her with a bunch of kids her age who like to camp, hike, fish or sit in front of a bonfire roasting marshmallows and telling ghost stories? She likes homework but yeah it is her vacation from school but not knowledge so have her read a new fiction or non-fiction book every week till summer is over and at the end, have her write an essay on the best she read this summer.

Absolutely! Keeping her fresh and mind in gear is a wonderful idea. I home school our middle son and our lessons run year around. We take a lighter load in the summer, but he enjoys it. He's 14 so I give him the freedom to take responsibltiy for his summer and then we hit it hard again August through June.

Absolutely NOT.
What's the point in children having time away from school if you are just gonna make them do homework during their away from school time?
If your daughter wants to do nothing much during the morning, knowing she'll be having an active afternoon at the beach with her Dad, then you should let her do it - that's what school holidays are for, for kids to be kids, do their own thing & not have to worry about studying or doing homework.
I think by making her do homework, you're trying to stop her from being a kid - wanting her to do nothing other than play or relax will only back-fire coz kids need to be kids.
Just let her do what she wants while she's on holiday - let her watch TV - she'll be active later anyway & if she doesn't play games during the school terms, then there's nothing wrong with her playing them on her free time!

Yes its agood idea ofcourse and please go on if she likes doing homework,all the best.

yes, i think that it is a wise choiceto give some home work to do if the child is sitting at home and doing nothing and i think this will increase her knowledge, vacaboulary and stamina of working, studying.
