Apparently, it is all to do with attention spans ...
But, whatever it is -- it really does work!
After talking with an expert,
we limited our girls' homework time to a fabulous 15 minutes a day ...
And amazingly they now appear less apathetic
and, dare I say, more enthusiastic about their HOMEWORK!
The other day, in fact, they both chose to do their homework
before going off for their favourite after-school activity -- imaginative play.
Our girls are nearly 7 years old and know that 15 minutes isn't that long,
so I emphasize this fact -- and use "you've only got 5 more minutes" to get us over the line!
What a difference these little things can make to the enjoyment of life.
Thank you Brad!
