Few things cause boys (and their families) as much stress as HOMEWORK.
In many cases, homework battles turn into outright power struggles -- with no winners.
In this episode, Jen & Janet discuss:
Why boys struggle with homework
The impact of homework on boys' academic achievement
What to do about "meaningless" homework
How a "too cool for school" attitude can interfere with learning
Why arguing about homework might not be the best use of your time and energy
