DD is in year 8 and has always been pretty good about school work. At the beginning of Y7 I helped a bit mainly by reminding or prompting about what needed to be done by when due to lots of new subjects and multiple deadlines. In Y8 I have backed off allowing her to be more independent and mange things herself. I do ask about homework but she always assures me it's all under control
. So last week she totally forgot a project that was due and this morning she realised that she had forgotten about some homework due today.
So do I revert to the more hands on approach or let her face the consequences at school? I would be interested to hear what others do with teens and homework and if you let them manage things or do you get more involved? I also suspect that her constant attachment to her phone is having an impact so I might have to put some rules in place there.
TIA
