Ep 53: Why Homework Takes Forever

Homework shouldn't take forty-five minutes for ten problems — but somehow it does, and it turns into a fight nobody wanted. If your kid stalls before starting, gets stuck demanding answers you can't give, or melts down the second you sit down together, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

Why the same homework meltdown can come from four completely different places

What it actually looks like when frustration is anxiety in disguise

Why "just try harder to start" doesn't work for a brain that struggles with task initiation

A simple in-the-moment question that helps you respond to what's really happening instead of just the yelling
