020 - Tackling Homework Challenges - With Kristin Scott

Welcome back to "Parenting the Intensity!"

In this week episode, Kristin Scott, who was an elementary teacher for 16 years and is now a private academic tutor, is joining us to focus on bridging the gap between classroom learning and at-home learning, especially when it comes to homework support.

🌟 Key Takeaways:

1️⃣ Understanding Learning Styles: Recognize and accommodate different learning styles for each child. This could mean offering alternative methods for activities, such as spelling practice, and creating a comfortable learning environment tailored to their needs.

2️⃣ Individualized Support: Seek assistance and actively listen to understand your child's needs and challenges when it comes to homework. Adjust the approach to teaching by asking the child how to help rather than imposing your own way of doing things.

3️⃣ Building Learning Environments: Foster a calm and investment-focused approach to create a supportive home learning environment by establishing daily homework time, engaging in hands-on learning activities, and incorporating tangible, thoughtful gifts to show care and support.
