The first tip is to not stress over your child’s homework too much. If you find yourself getting anxious because of the homework, find a way to cool yourself down by doing some exercise, splash your face with cold water, or have an adult drink. Secondly, if your child is having a meltdown because of their homework, treat them the same way you just treated yourself, have them go outside and play to recharge and ready themselves to finish the task. If this doesn’t work, write the teacher a note explaining the situation at hand. Finally, brush things off. If things get super revved up, act as if it’s not a big deal, and let them decide what to do.
