Making study a priority
YOU dread the battles over homework. But the problem may not be the homework, says Áine Lynch, CEO of the National Parents’ Council Primary.
“Parents can get very focused on homework, because there’s a third party involved — a teacher asking why isn’t the homework done. In fact, parents may be battling with a lot of internal [household] things, from children tidying their room, to setting the table, to going to bed,” says Ms Lynch.
