Taking the chore out of homework has so many benefits

I THINK it would be safe to say that most of the kids and teens in Ireland do not look forward to homework and that it is a source of stress for parents to ensure it is getting done each night, writes Alison Curtis.

I certainly know in my various parent WhatsApp groups something about homework comes up in our chats almost weekly. Tips on how to get them to do it; that kids are complaining about it; that some parents (as our kids are in first class) are skipping it; what time of day is best to get it done; is a cash reward a good idea? — and the list goes on.
