Hello and thank you for writing to JustAsk!

Homework comes at the end of a very busy day for most students.  Therefore, to help with homework time try to make sure that your child has had a nutritious snack, a bit of rest time and some structure (such as working without distractions, such as television, etc.)

Students often don't understand the purpose of homework, so try and relate their assignments to real life experiences, such as math helps with possibly being a future entrepreneur!

You don't say the age of your child, but regardless if homework is difficult, upsetting or not correct, please consult with the teacher(s).

Good luck!
