Parentland

Starting school and homework


Listen Later

'I hate homework' might be a common phrase in your house – but does it actually serve a purpose? And how much is too much? This episode is all about education, and our Parentlanders are asking whether there’s a right age for your child to start school. Joining the team to help tackle these questions are Professor Dominic Wyse and Professor David Whitebread. Plus, get advice on what to do if your child is struggling to read and write.

Please note it is no longer possible to contact this programme by email.
