Homework Help That Really Helps

Of course parents want what is best for their child. Nowadays, this means spending a good amount of time overseeing, managing and helping with homework. But where is the line between being helpful and doing too much? In parent-friendly terms, Diana explores controlling the subtext: what messages is help sending; teacher versus parent: effective roles to play; content, skills, processes: goals of homework; games: a no-tears approach to helping with some common issues; when to step aside: indications that a child may need more or different help. In this presentation, Diana discusses what homework help really helps and what may be hurting a child.

It was an engaging and fun presentation and discussion-and informative-with good take aways that parents can immediately start using. Leaving a presentation with concrete things TO DO (not just a discussion about what’s difficult and why) is key! It was great! Thank you very much Diana.

Thanks so much for speaking today! You were very engaging and funny, which always helps keep people interested. The handouts were great to have, as people like something tangible, and the topic that you addressed today is really on point with many issues our parents are struggling with on a regular basis.
