Dd has just started Year 7. They're getting a manageable amount of homework at the moment, however she's pretty exhausted at the end of the school day and needs a bit of nagging to get on with homework so it doesn't build up.
I try and keep her off her phone during the late afternoon so she can get her work done with no distractions. However, almost every day she's asking me to use it to ask something about the homework on her class WhatsApp group. This generally leads to chat about other stuff and me nagging her to get off it.
I know this is the modern day equivalent of phoning a friend but I think she should start doing homework independently without needing clarification for every little thing. I'd rather she did what she thought was right and get feedback from the teacher.
Any advice how to manage this?
