My daughter Carol is a girl of nine years old. She is in Grade Four.
Every evening we get into homework fights. Three afternoons a week, she has classes after school一drawing on Monday, singing on Wednesday and dancing on Friday. The other two days, she gets home early. When we get home, wearguea lot. I think she should do her homework right now, but she always wants to have some time to relax and play first.
When Carol at last sits down to do her homework, she seems to want me there to help all the time. I do want to help her, but I'm sure that she needs to do it by herself. And most of the time I have to do other things.
It seems that children these days have much more homework than we did, and some of it is really difficult. As a mother, I'm really worried about her homework and I really don't know what I should do. Any ideas?
