Homework and Study Habits

Simple tips for a more enjoyable school year.
I often hear from parents that “homework” is one of the hardest things to get their children to accomplish at home! Here are a few strategies to overcome this obstacle:
Establish a homework schedule with your child.
Provide a daily structured time and space for them to do their homework.
Homework should never be left until the morning before school starts! The mornings are time to eat a healthy breakfast and prepare for the day.
Parents/Guardians are responsible for assisting their children with homework and checking that it is completed. DO NOT complete the homework for them. If your child is struggling with a concept, assist by using their textbook or other resource materials. Inform the teacher if your child continues to struggle.
Children are often challenged with the amount of time required to complete assignments. A great strategy is breaking homework time into intervals. Encourage physical exercise or a protein snack during breaks.
Contact the teacher if your child continues to require an excess amount of time to complete homework or is unable to complete assignments. Your child may be distracted, not understanding, unmotivated or just exhausted. These are important pieces of the puzzle that will provide excellent information for you and their teacher.
It’s easy to get defensive when your partner changes. But curiosity is what keeps intimacy alive. When you lead with curiosity, you're saying: “You don’t have to shrink for me. I want to know the real you—even as you evolve.”
You don’t have to love the same hobbies to love each other well. What matters most is respecting what brings your partner joy—even if you don’t fully understand it.
A strong relationship isn’t about doing everything together. It’s about finding enough shared space to keep choosing each other again and again as you both evolve.
Change doesn’t have to pull you apart. But silence will. Keep the lines open. Let the conversations be messy, honest, and ongoing.
When your partner changes, resist the urge to pull away or pretend nothing is different. Lean in. Speak up. Be curious, not critical.
