Moms Talk Q&A: How Do You Prioritize Work vs. Fun?
Should homework be completed before Little Johnny is allowed to play in his Little League game?
It's inevitable, especially in the spring: Kids go to school without having done their homework. When the teacher asks why, the child says something about a recital or a Little League game. Teachers have heard every excuse in the book and can't understand how the homework isn't treated as the No. 1 priority.
Parents, how to you prioritize fun and work with your kids? What's more important, that homework assignment, the dance practice or the soccer game? There has to be a way to police all this activity without overscheduling.
