As many of you know, raising children and helping them through school can be challenging at times, especially with what seems like an increased homework workload and school projects that seem years ahead of what kids should be doing!
My eldest son, who has a very strong personality and is determined in his ways seems to give both my spouse and I a difficult time when it comes to doing homework. Its' always a struggle to get through it with him.
Our concern is that our two other children will mirror his behavior and follow suit.
Now its a struggle with both of us there, I can only image the fun we will have once/if we are seperated!
My friend advised me that "If I can get my eldest son in line or under control -- the other two will soon follow his lead".
So, I'd be interested in knowing how others have dealt with children and the doing of homework dilemma's? How have you or do you manage your time when trying to do homework with many children? How do you maintain calm when doing homework? How do you enforce disipline when one or more of the children 'get out of hand'?
Appreciate the feedback.
