The homework-battle checklist
Nightly homework fights usually come down to the routine, not the child. Check off what you already have in place below — you’ll get an instant read on how solid your setup is and which small changes tend to help most. Nothing is saved; you can print your list at the end.

Check the boxes above for the routines you already have — your read updates as you go.
Still fighting the same fight?
When the routine isn’t enough, the fastest fix is taking yourself out of the teacher role. A tutor becomes the person who explains and checks the work — start with a free trial.
Questions about this tool
What is this checklist based on?
The routines that most reliably reduce homework conflict: consistent time and place, work broken into small pieces, focused blocks with breaks, and — importantly — the parent protecting the time rather than acting as the teacher. It mirrors our guide on ending the homework battle.
Does it save my answers?
No. It runs entirely in your browser and saves nothing. You can print your checklist, but refreshing the page clears it.
We do most of these and still fight. Now what?
That usually means the work itself has outpaced your child's current skills, so no routine alone will fix it. A few sessions with a tutor to close the underlying gap — and to take over the teaching role — is typically what ends it.
