Kids who struggle with reading aren’t usually the best at getting their homework done effectively and efficiently.
And that can lead to the dreaded ‘homework battles.’
As parents, we want the time we spend with our kids to be fun and meaningful, not filled with arguments and tears.
In this post, we look to 3 experts who have some great suggestions on how to minimize or get rid of homework trauma.
1. Free webinar: Strategies for Students with ADHD
In this free webinar, Ann Dolin, M.Ed., discusses:
