They\u2019re ready to meet up with friends, participate in activities, scarf down a snack or two, and enjoy their night. Once they arrive home, however, they realize that it\u2019s not all popcorn and video games: They have to do their homework. There are math worksheets to complete, essays to write, and pages to read. It\u2019s sometimes the last thing a student wants to do, but homework doesn\u2019t have to be a chore\u2014or worse, a battle. You don\u2019t want it to be that way, and neither do your parents.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teacherlists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/teacher-tips-homework-tips-for-parents.png\" alt=\"Homework Tips for Parents\" width=\"507\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teacherlists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/teacher-tips-homework-tips-for-parents.png 507w, https:\/\/www.teacherlists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/teacher-tips-homework-tips-for-parents-300x261.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thankfully\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dibs.duke.edu\/scholars\/harris-cooper\">Harris Cooper<\/a>, a distinguished professor in the department of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University, has spent more than two decades researching the issues surrounding homework. He offers plenty of great advice that you can share with parents to help ease homework pain.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we\u2019ve included some homework tips from the professor along with a list of supplies parents can keep on hand at home to ease the stress of homework time.<\/p>\n<p>Share Cooper\u2019s homework tips below with your classroom parents, and hopefully homework time will become less of a battle and more of a win\u2014for your students, their parents, and you!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Harris Cooper\u2019s Homework Tips for Parents<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Be a stage manager.<br \/>\n<\/strong>Make sure your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework. Make sure necessary materials (paper, pencils, dictionary) are available. (Check out the list below of school supplies that are helpful to have on hand each night for homework)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be a motivator.<br \/>\n<\/strong>Homework provides a great opportunity for you to tell your child how important school is. Be positive about homework. The attitude you express will be the attitude your child acquires.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be a role model.<br \/>\n<\/strong>When your child does homework, don\u2019t sit and watch TV. If your child is reading, you read, too. If your child is doing math, balance your checkbook. Help your child see that the skills he is practicing are related to things you do as an adult.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be a monitor.<br \/>\n<\/strong>Watch your child for signs of failure and frustration. If your child asks for help, provide guidance, not answers. If frustration sets in, suggest a short break.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be a mentor.<br \/>\n<\/strong>When the teacher asks that you play a role in homework, do it. If homework is meant to be done alone, stay away. Homework is a great way for kids to develop lifelong learning skills. Over involvement can be a bad thing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.teacherlists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Homework-Tips-for-Parents.pdf?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=pdf&amp;utm_campaign=teacher_tips&amp;utm_content=homework-tips-for-parents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Download and print a PDF of these homework tips to share with your parents<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Must-Have Homework Supplies:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The following homework supply list will help ensure your child has the necessary supplies to be successful.
