Some children sit at homework for two to three hours, and even then they need someone sitting beside them the whole time to help them.
Parents often say to us, “We’re spending the whole evening on homework.”
And that’s really tough, for you, for the child, and for the whole family.
This is actually very common in children who are trying really, really hard, but are finding learning exhausting. What’s usually happening is that the brain hasn’t made some of the skills automatic yet.
So instead of the work flowing for the child, they have to think through every step,
reading, writing, spelling, and even holding the instructions in their mind.
So the problem isn’t laziness, it’s not a lack of focus, it’s that the brain is having to do too much processing just to complete the task.
But when these processes become automatic, something really interesting happens. Parents tell us the same thing every time, homework that used to take two hours, suddenly takes twenty minutes.
And they don’t need you sitting beside them anymore, they can just get on with it.
