Frequently asked questions

How do you stop homework being a battle?
Homework battles usually ease when there's a calm, predictable routine and the focus shifts from nagging to encouragement. A reward chart helps by giving children something positive to aim for — earning a star for sitting down willingly, trying their best and finishing, with a reward when they build up enough. Importantly, reward the effort and attitude rather than only the marks, so a child who finds the work hard can still succeed. Beyond the chart, a consistent time and quiet place each day, short focused bursts rather than gruelling marathons (with a brief break or a timer to make it feel finite), and a snack and some downtime after school first, all reduce resistance. Stay calm and warm even when they're not — getting drawn into the battle tends to make it worse. If homework is a regular source of real distress or seems too hard, it's worth a chat with their teacher.
