Part 1: Start here, your role and a look at the real afternoon
For many families, homework is the hardest hour of the day. Everyone is tired and hungry, the work is not always clear, and a small job turns into tears. This guide gives you a calm after-school plan for children ages 6 to 12: a routine, a homework spot, scripts for the stuck moments and a way to work with the teacher.
It is general parenting information, not educational or medical advice. Rules and amounts of homework vary by school, so check with your child's teacher.
What is in this guide

- Part 2: the after-school routine and the homework spot.
- Part 3: scripts for stuck, tired and "I'm not doing it" moments.
- Part 4: working with the teacher, special cases and a weekly check-in.
Your job, and your child's job
