A recent Boston Globe article has shown a light on a problem affecting millions of families across the country; increasingly complicated homework assignments are causing parents and kids to be stressed out. As children grow older and progressed farther into the public education system, the complexity and breadth of their daily homework assignments greatly expand. In recent years, changing educational standards have meant that parents can’t offer traditional homework help as they were educated in a fundamentally different manner. So what can parents do to keep their kids from falling behind academically and suffering emotionally?
If one subject is proving to be particularly challenging to a child, it may be necessary to enlist the services of a qualified tutor. A tutor can help kids develop learning strategies that will aid them throughout their academic careers. It’s also important that parents make sure their kids are eating right.
