Homework time can be challenging for many families. It is important to know it is common. Every child is unique and will have different homework needs. Some kids have trouble getting motivated to start, some get easily overwhelmed when there is a lot to do, some get emotional when they get stuck on a question and some struggle with attention span to get it all done.
