This is one of the best books I have ever read for parents and students to help with the homework issue. As the parent of a student on the spectrum, I have tried everything when it comes to keeping track of homework, getting homework done, and having success with homework. I never thought I would need help with my “normal” child. Surprisingly we did. This book helped all of us.
My children learned from it. I learned from it. My successful new college student and my successful high school student are proof of how helpful this book can be for all students.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars and can only wish it had been available to help when I was in school.

A Parent’s Guide to Stress-Free Homework

What’s The Story?
“I don’t have any homework.” “I swear I studied, but I still failed the test.” “I can never learn it—never!” Students today have twice as much homework as you did. That's twice as much reading. Twice as many definitions. Twice the amount of math problems. It doubles the workload for your kids--and the headaches for you. Fortunately, there's Home Sweet Homework.
Getting involved with your student's homework will help them receive better grades, have a better attitude, and get accepted to better colleges. And Sharon Lockett, founder of Lockett Learning Systems, shows you how! She provides the tools and strategies you will need to conquer your child's bulging backpack.
Help your children do their homework--and do it right! With back-to-school time fast approaching, millions of parents are desperate for help when it comes to getting their children’s homework done correctly and painlessly.
Without an educator’s background, and with the amount of homework up 51% in the last ten years (according to a 2004 University of Michigan study), parents are understandably dumbfounded when it comes to engaging their child in effective study strategies. In easy to understand parenting terms, education veteran and author Sharon Marshall Lockett’s new book Home Sweet Homework: A Parent’s Guide to Stress-Free Homework and Studying Strategies That Work gives struggling parents practical tools that will produce stand-out grades.
What does it mean for your audience?
Written specifically for parents of children in grades K-12 this book tackles all the typical homework dilemmas, including: whether or not a child should be allowed to study with friends; what to do when a child says they have no homework; and how to deal with too much homework and too little time. Also, Lockett offers specific learning strategies that will help children in overall performance and test taking, along with tools for dealing with failure and learning frustrations. Parents even learn what to do when they don’t understand the material themselves.

During the last time I went to the library, I accidentally found this book next to the one I wanted to check out and decided to look at it while my mom answered an email. I didn't expect myself to be interested in it, but surprisingly, I decided to check it out from the library to read for fun, since I sometimes like to read books for absolutely no reason.
If I were to rate this book based on usefulness, I would be unable to do so, since this book is not written for a reader like me. However, it is very interesting; it contains information about how different people's minds work. I guess now I can understand why annoying people are annoying and why people work the way they do, at least much better than I did previously.

A beneficial book for parents looking for ways to help their children easily navigate the ins and outs of homework and learning how to study.
