Parent Ed. Talk. Whose Homework is it Anyway? @ This Side Up! Family Center
Oct 2 @ 12:00 am – 1:30 am

Expert Parent Educator, Cynthia Garrison will provide insight, ideas and tools that will take your family from surviving to THRIVING this school year!

Description: Whose Homework Is It Anyway?
The struggle of homework has been around for generations. We ask the question and we get a non-committal answer and we get frustrated. Sometimes we end up bribing, threatening, and screaming just to get them to do the work. We may even help too much or do the work for the child. Join us as we identify parental role in homework environment, understanding learning styles and fostering a sense of child responsibility.
End the Homework Battles!
