" Hi! My name is Ann and I am here to talk about homework tips. It is important to, when you are dealing with homework and your children to set a time limit on how long you will spend on homework. You don’t want your child to become frustrated or that you should get upset and find it overwhelming and if you beat the horse in other words if you keep doing something over and over again, it can be tedious and counterproductive. You don’t want your child end up becoming brain dead by repetition. A quick shot, a quick review and you are often, you are done with the homework. It is important to think child to be centered to the needs of your child and when dealing with homework to be aware of the limits your child is willing to do at that point in time. Again you don’t want to overdo something and spend hours and hours doing it."
