Homework routines

Homework can be a daily battleground in many homes — or it can be a smooth, manageable part of the afternoon. The difference often comes down to having a consistent routine.

What does your family's homework routine look like? Do your children complete homework immediately after school, after a break, or in the evening? Do you sit with them, or do they work independently? How do you handle the nights when homework piles up or a child is simply too tired to focus?
