School Homework Hacks
I think one of the biggest challenges, at least for my children, was figuring out the specifics related to homework. Should it be done right after school? After dinner? It really depends on the child and their individual needs. I think it is important to start thinking about all this a month or so before school starts. This way you have time to talk about it with your child, make necessary charts or schedules and avoid the extra stress that could come as a result of not planning ahead.
