HOMEWORK BATTLES

Homework isn't usually the real problem.

It's what homework represents.

Pressure.

Overwhelm.

Feeling behind.

Fear of getting it wrong.

I've worked with many teenagers who looked "unmotivated" from the outside...

when really they just didn't know where to begin.

You're not failing.

Your teenager isn't broken.

You just need a calmer way forward.

Over the next few days I'll share some ideas that can make homework feel much less stressful.

Instead of asking,

"Have you finished your homework?"

Try asking,

"What's the very first thing we could do together for two minutes?"

Reducing the size of the first step often reduces the resistance too.
