Homework Problems?

The weather has been exceptionally beautiful and everyone just wants to be outside enjoying.  The down side of an early Spring is trying to get your kids to do their homework.  If you're having a challenge with this, keep in mind that this is a normal,  natural reaction for children.   Since fresh air and play time is so healthy, maybe some adjustments can be made.  If your chld is normally a pretty good student, and does their homework without too much fuss,  homework time can easily be solved.  The family meeting  is a great time to discuss and change some rules about homework.  If your rule is for them to do their homework BEFORE any fun activities,  try switching that to letting them play outside for a while and then set aside time afterwards to do homework (when the sun goes down). Tell them you will agree to try this on a trial basis.  Let them know that you have faith in them to make this work.   It's good for your children to see that you can be flexible with the rules.  The seasons are a welcome change for most of us so why not go with it.  If you think the homework/classroom situation is more serious (or if you know someone who is having problems with this)  I can give you great suggestions for peace and success.  Contact me any time.
