A powerful way forward to overcome homework battles

Ever sat beside your child while they struggled with a word they knew yesterday and felt your heart sink?

Most parents have. You want to help, but you also want to stay their parent, not their teacher.

The “I hate this,” “It’s not fair,” or “I don’t want to do homework” moments can wear you down.
What looks like resistance is usually just tiredness and frustration.

And here’s the thing. Trying to take on the teacher role at home rarely works.
Not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because the way kids are taught now is completely different from how we learned. Phonics, code, structured literacy??? It’s a whole new language that most of us have no clue about.

What your child really needs isn’t another lesson.
It’s you. Calm, connected, and confident in how to support them without taking over.

This week, I’ve written about how to do exactly that. Simple, practical ways to support your child without turning your dining table into a classroom.
