Perseverance with homework for your child doesn’t mean powering through alone.

It means your child knows when to ask for help, when to take a breath, and how to come back and try again.

You can help them get there.

With calm support, clear routines, and meaningful assignments, your child can learn to keep going and achieve multiple kinds of success.

Good self-assessment from your child comes from parents helping their children think about how they learn.

Instead of giving answers, ask questions like “What’s your plan?” or “How did you figure that out?”

This builds confidence, independence, and problem-solving skills that go far beyond homework.

Homework should never come at the cost of your child’s mental or physical health.

If homework is leading to tears, tension, or late nights, it’s okay to pause, take a break, and talk to the teacher.

Protecting sleep, calm, and family connection matters more than finishing homework.
