Conquering Homework in Middle School
Is homework causing so much stress and disruption you feel like you CAN’T WAIT another minute and NEED to start turning things around RIGHT NOW? Get a jump start by checking out the 5 stages of the Conquering Homework success path below.
Step 1 Chart Your Course
Clear Vision
You are ready for real, lasting change in how homework gets done at your house, so let’s chart the course. Before you hit the road, we’ll show you how to get super clear about where you are right now and where you want to go.
Step 2 Get Ready
Be Prepared
You can relax, knowing we will lighten your load by helping you gather just the right “gear” (tools and resources), customized for you and your child, so you have exactly what you need for success, no more, no less.
Step 3 Set Your Anchors
Secure Connection
You’re gaining confidence and clarity, and your preparation is starting to pay off. Your next step is to strengthen the healthy emotional connections between you and your child, setting what we call “Emotional Anchors.” This kind of warm, secure attachment empowers your actions.
Step 4 Get It Done!
Empowered Action
Empowered by secure anchors, your actions become more effective. You’re positioned for success and able to inspire your child to take initiative and get their homework done without stress or pressure. You may ask, “Is this possible?” and the answer is, “YES!” And don’t worry, we’ve got your back and will show you how!
Step 5 Celebrate
Praise Progress!
There will always be more to learn, new vistas and summits ahead, but now that can fill you with joy, not dread. Parenting truly is the ultimate “never-ending journey.” So, take a deep, refreshing breath, have a good stretch, then buckle up, let’s circle around and start charting your next course of action! As good old Buzz Lightyear put it, “To infinity… and beyond!”
Yay! You reached the summit. Enjoy the moment! Savor success! Celebrate each step along the way, even the small ones. Then pause to review and revise. What worked? What didn’t? What will you keep doing? What changes do you want to experiment with next?
