[QUOTE="Andy, post: 385511, member: 5096"] After a long day at school and then some after school activities, the evenings and nights fly by really fast leaving everyone with the feeling there isn't time for anything especially home work. Maybe to help Duckie see that there is time, set a time line within her check list. One thing to figure out is what is the best time for her to do home work? Right after school? Right before supper? Right after Supper? Right after shower/bed time preparation? When is the easiest/most productive for her? Then set up a checklist similar to the below (this would work for my difficult child's homework but each kid is different): Right after School - 4:30 Homework time (sit at a desingated area until homework is done) 4:30 - 5:00 Free time (I think it is important for playtime after a day of school so even if she sits and whines and fusses during previous homework time, let her go stretch her legs) 5:00 - 6:00 Dinner (including clean up from dinner) 6:00 - 7:00 Homework time if still not done and also prep time for the morning - all homework gets put in school backpack and clothes are chosen for the next day. 7:00 - 7:30 Freetime (this free time gets taken away if homework is not done) 7:30 Get ready for bed (pick up toys/brush teeth/bath or shower, ect.) Let her know that homework is HER job and that you will do anything necessary to help make sure she has the time and tools to do it. [/QUOTE]
