Too often, parents sit down with their children after dinner, to assist with the homework needs.  After a big (or not-so-big) meal, our bodies are using energy to break down our meal, so using our brains to work on school tasks is a tough ask.

 

If the school work is something that your child can work on during breaks in class, or right after school it may help ease the burden.  The key is to find out the optimum time that your child's brain is active, and they have the energy to focus, even for a short timespan.  

 

Just like adults, we have times in our day where we are more productive and can focus on tasks.  Try to find those times with your kids, and the homework wars will hopefully be less traumatic.
