Common questions
Should I sit with my child?
Being nearby and available usually helps more than doing it with them. Let them own the work.
What if it takes hours?
Talk to the teacher. Long, painful homework may signal that something needs adjusting.
Could it be a learning difficulty?
Possibly. If struggles persist, ask the school and your pediatrician. This is general information, not medical or educational advice.
