What's The Story? "I don't have any homework. "I swear I studied, but I still failed the test. "I can never learn it--never! With back-to-school time fast approaching, millions of parents are desperate for help when it comes to getting their children's homework done correctly and painlessly.
Without an educator's background, and with the amount of homework up 51% in the last ten years (according to a 2004 University of Michigan study), parents are understandably dumbfounded when it comes to engaging their child in effective study strategies. In easy to understand parenting terms, education veteran and author Sharon Marshall Lockett's new book Home Sweet Homework: A Parent's Guide to Stress-Free Homework and Studying Strategies That Work (Adams Media; September) gives struggling parents practical tools that will produce stand-out grades.
What does it mean for your audience?
Written specifically for parents of children in grades K-12 this book tackles all the typical homework dilemmas, including: whether or not a child should be allowed to study with friends; what to do when a child says they have no homework; and how to deal with too much homework and too little time. Also, Lockett offers specific learning strategies that will help children in overall performance and test taking, along with tools for dealing with failure and learning frustrations. Parents even learn what to do when they don't understand the material themselves.
