If you're struggling with back-to-school time, or starting-school time – I'm creating shows this month and next to help you feel better.
Today's is all about homework.
Over the years I've had parents share the most horrible stories about homework and their little kids, like the mom whose six-year-old received an afterschool detention for missing four homework assignments in a row.
That one still makes me choke a little.
Or the one about a child forced to miss recess because of a parent's failure to log in and do the required "family homework."
When medical ethicist Dr. Arthur Caplan comes on this show and says "recess is a right," as he did in this episode last spring, I smile at his words.
But my blood pressure goes up.
Way up, at the thought of you and your young son or daughter coping with outrageous, damaging policies like these.
So today I'm taking everything my own training and experience tells me, and everything the wonderful teachers and doctors and folks who really understand young children (and who've spoken up on my show) – and I'm boiling it down into three steps to help you handle crazy homework demands.
Go to weturnedoutokay.com/184 for key links, and to read an outline of the three steps.
