One of the things I disliked about school when I was young was homework. Now I see that same dislike in my children. I found it hard to help them with that chore although I do try to encourage them to do it. The older they get the harder it is for the parent to actually help them so instilling good habits when they are young is essential.

Jonathan, the bright, highly intelligent, under achiever frustrated me to no end when he was in the nineth and tenth grades. He would usually do the homework was too lazy to turn it in. Can you believe it, he would get an A on the tests and a C on the report card.

Andrew, the one who struggles to understand why he even needs to go to school actually turns the homework in; when he does it. Getting Andrew to want to do the homework is a big struggle. With his learning disadvantages I have a hard time with some of the homework he is actually assigned. But Karen and I as parents still try to instill a good want to do it in him.

How about you? How do your kids do with homework? Leave me a comment about them.
