DS is moving up to an academic secondary school from his laid back village primary. He really wants to go there and knows there's 1-2 hours homework a night, but I don't think the reality has kicked in.
I want to help him into a routine where he just gets on with it so he has plenty of free time to play/socialise/relax etc.
He'll be home each night by 4.45pm and goes to bed at 9.30pm. With half an hour for tea - that leaves 1-2 hours for homework and 2-3 hours free time.
I'd really appreciate any advice on how to structure the time. Straight from school? half hour break then do it before tea, leaving clear time after tea to rest before bed?
For now he's cut right back on his after school activities, but he'll still have a club one night a week, sport at weekends and music practise.
I can't see how he'll fit it all in and don't want him to get stressed or overloaded.
Has anyone's DC survived and thrived in a similar situation?
