Teen Tip Tuesday: Manage homework stress

As summer is coming to a close, it’s time for parents and their kids to prepare for the school year.  My daughter has graduated but I remember the stress that homework assignments often brought to the kitchen table.  It’s inevitable that your teens will need assistance from someone other than their teachers on occasion.

My best tip is to remain calm when in teaching mode.  Nothing derails a homework assignment worse than escalated feelings.  It’s not always easy as teaching your teen can be frustrating when they don’t “get it”; but it’s very important to keep peaceful when working with your child.

Here are 5 tips to help your teens (and their parents) manage homework stress.  Good luck!
