i feel that my kid's school is assigning too much homework for a 7 yo. how do i help my child cope with homework?

you can help him by helping him. maybe by studying with him you can get through the homework faster and relax earlier.

can you talk to the teacher? perhaps their curriculum is a bit too much...

i think you should do both. talk to your teacher and help your child with homework. if you feel there is a lot of homework for their age Im sure the teacher is willing to listen to you. Also there might be some parents who feel the same.

one of your courses of action should be to talk not only to the teacher but to the school principal too. If you can also find other kids and parents experiencing the same thing then this would also be good for your cause.

perhaps you can help him with it. if he gets into a rhytm with the school work then he can adjust to the load. but if it is really too much then perhaps you can talk to your school principal or teacher about it.

talk to the teacher! ask her about her lesson plan. if you feel like there's a lot then perhaps you can suggest to her to lighten up a bit. this will really work if you have other parents behind you.

i already talked to the teacher and it seems that they are following the curriculum. that is OK by me but my kid just always seems tired.

thank you for the replies. i really appreciate it and am taking things into consideration.

if you help him with the homework it might speed things up for him. you can also pinpoint which areas are hard for them and provide assistance.

for me this can easily be solved through communicating with the teacher and the school. all you need to do is to talk to them and air out your feelings.

i just feel like there is at least 2 homeworks every day and then a quiz on all subjects at least once a week. i feel like my child is always tired!

but thanks for your suggestions. will talk to his teacher soon!
