Listen now
Description
Child psychotherapist Dr Colman Noctor and ieParenting editor Irene Feighan sit down to discuss the pros and cons of homework for primary school children.  While some researchers say homework helps children to develop skills such as organisation, others believe it is counterproductive.   Noctor is in the no-homework camp and sees how it impacts his children in very different ways. He offers guidance on creating healthy habits and advice for parents of teenagers who have little interest in studying or completing homework.  Hosted on Acast.
