Don't battle over fixing assignments

If you see that a school assignment includes wrong answers, don't insist that your child redo it until it's right. Instead, ask if your elementary schooler thinks the work is done correctly. If your child isn't sure and asks for help, you can give it. If your child is too frustrated to care, it's probably time for a break. Let your child decide whether to change an answer. Teachers need to see what students do and don't understand. If schoolwork struggles continue, work with the teacher to find a solution.
