My daughter and 13 year old granddaughter live with us while my daughter is getting her BSN. After my experiments with the homework (in her room after school, in her room after supper, in the living room, etc.) we have found the best solution is at the dining room table right after school when she gets home (after cross country practice). That way when she starts to get distracted, I am right there to get her back on track. She is very smart and gets all A's with an occasional B, but when it comes to homework, she is a huge procrastinator. I just want it done and out of the way. Left to her own devices, she once spent 7 hours doing homework, from 4:00 to 11:00. That's when I laid down the law! She now hurries to get it done and loves having the rest of the evening free. I push to get her to bed by 9 or 9:30, but if she makes it by 10:00, I'm happy!
