Homework becomes a priority when it creates repeated conflict, tears, late bedtimes, or a rushed evening for working parents. Parents were open to outside help when it could take over the emotionally charged part of the task, especially if children might respond better to someone outside the family. The most useful model is consistent, trusted support that handles teaching or supervision while still giving parents visibility into progress and completion.
