Homework  

Sit down with her while she is doing her homework and read a book, or draw, or something that is interesting to you. It will be a shared time between the two of you. Plus, if she has any questions regarding the work, you will be right there for her.

well just tell her teacher to be a bit strict on her and you should not give her any resources until she does her homework!
thats the only way possible!

When my children get home from school they first eat a snack and get 30 minutes more or less to do whatever they want. Then they get sarted on their homework. We do homework at the kitchen table there's room for us all there. There's no tv distractions and when I need to start dinner I am still there if they need some help.

My Daughter is also in first grade - although she goes up to second grade for math. She gets homework three times a week. When she gets home from school she has a snack and starts it. If seh doesn't have any assigments then I have her read to me for 15 minutes and also we practice her math facts and her spelling words every day.

All I can say is you gotta be firm with a child. let them know you mean business so if she starts to wonder off let her know she cant do anything until shes done with her work.

I am a high school teacher, but I am not a great believer in homework. I see the students get stressed out of their brains with constant assignments and homework, and I see their social life badly affected. Surely there must be life outside school.

i have some isses attatched to homework, like watching tv and playing games. This helps. Over the years children realize that homework is meant for their well being.

Most importantly, encourage her when she is doing it and tell her how proud you are that she is taking the intiative to do it on her own. Let her know that you are always there if she needs help with homework or studying. When she starts to get more homework teach her about priorities and how homework should always be done first before any other activity that way you can reward her for doing it.

Grrr.....I have a very biased view because im still at school - but its tupid the amount of homework we get. I get about 3 hours of homework a night - not that i do half of it. If they gave us less then we could get more done...

But what really piisses me off is when we get homework in the holidays. The holiday is meant to be to rest - not to do bundles of homework. For xmas holidays i have about 3 pieces of coursework - and we only have 2 weeks off!

I love homework with ptr, surf, banner, sondage and all system to make money, internet is wonderful
