Thinking back to when I was a child, back-to-school was one of my favorite times of the year. I truly enjoyed going back to school shopping, meeting my teacher and seeing all my friends.

Tell me the truth. When homework time comes around your entire mood changes? I know what this feels like. Throughout the years I’ve learned to allow my children to find their homework style and remembering that they will not always arrive at the correct answer on the first try.
