Every parent has experienced the nightmare of homework at one time or another. For some it's only a nightmare once in a while, but others experience the nightmare on a nightly basis. I've experienced both.
Homework time for us used to be nothing short of chaos. There was screaming, yelling, and more than enough frustration to go around. Homework would drag on and on and on. It was horrible. Some time ago I took a close look at our homework routine and tried to fix some of our problems, but at times we still have tough nights.
Yesterday I followed a comment on one of my lenses and I discovered an absolutely wonderful lens. In fact, I think it was a godsend because lately I've strayed from some of the homework tips I have recommended myself, and I needed a reminder.
Homework tips from a teacher! is full of tips for any parent who struggles with homework time. Who better to get homework tips from than a teacher? Some of the tips I had already implemented into our homework routine, some I have been lax on and need to revive, and then some caused me to have one of those ah-ha moments.
Teacher2 gives us practical ways to help our children succeed in school by making homework a more pleasant experience for the whole family. She throws a lifeline to those struggling with homework, and gives us tools to improve not only our childrens education, but our relationship with our children as well.

Crystal, teacher2 sounds like a great teacher. I was impressed that a lot of her tips are just plain and simple empathy -- something conducive to raising happy children.
ReplyDeleteMimi, I think that's one thing I liked so much about the lens. It reminded me that even when our lives are hectic and we're in a hurry, we still have to take care of basic needs first and just like we need to, our children need to also. The studying right before bed is something I hope to start doing with spelling, and I'm sure it will make a big difference for Kenneth.

I understand about the homework nightmare! I had four boys all in school at the same time! Three of the teachers gave at least 2 hrs worth of homework. I'll have to send this review to a friend with the same issues now :) Thank you, Crystal!
ReplyDeleteI remember so well the homework nightmares. These two lenses are great resources for people going through it now.
ReplyDeleteA truly wonderful lens! I wish I had read it 15 years ago when we first started stressing over how to find that right balance without killing yourself in the process. Awesome Review!
