The purpose of this book is to help parents become partners in their children's success in school by offering them practical ways to help with homework and assignments. Parents can use the Big Six Skills information problem-solving process to effectively deal with the abundance of information available from many sources and guide their children through school assignments. The Big Six Skills apply to any problem or activity that requires a solution or result based on information: task definition, information seeking strategies, location and access, use of information, synthesis, and evaluation. There are six chapters in the book: (1) "The Big Six Approach: A Framework for Helping Children"; (2) "What Your Children Face Every Day in School: Assignments"; (3) "The Big Six Applied: A Framework for Helping Children with Homework"; (4) "Computers, the Internet, and Other Technologies: Can They Really Make a Difference?" (5) "Assisting with Assignments: Examples from Various Subjects"; and (6) "Bringing It All Together: A Parent Conversation with Mike and Bob." Appendices include the Big Six Assignment Organizer, applying the Big Six to sample homework assignments, Big Six Skills overhead transparency masters and bookmark, background information on the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC), and a selected bibliography of ERIC documents.

Neil McNerney, a licensed counselor and parenting expert, will show you ways to help your child do better in school without arguments, yelling, or guilt. In his 25 years working with school-age children and their parents, Neil McNerney has developed a simple and powerful approach that will increase achievement and decrease aggravation! HOMEWORK: A Parent's Guide to Helping Out Without Freaking Out! will guide you through a simple process to find a way to help your child based on which faulty coping pattern your child is using. Most homework books are focused on study techniques. Homework focuses on how parents can be powerful leaders in their kid's education. It answers the most common questions parents ask: When do I reward and when do I punish? How do I give advice about studying without getting backtalk? How much should I review homework? How do I help my stressed out child who takes school too seriously? What do I say when my child says "I don't care" about school? How do I help my disorganized child without feeling like I am his secretary? Praise for Homework "Whether you have an anxious, disorganized or defiant child when it comes to doing schoolwork, McNerney's C.A.L.M. method allows you to tailor your intervention to the specific style of your child. A great way to avoid nightly homework wars!" - Thomas W. Phelan, PhD, author of Surviving Your Adolescents "Neil is a gifted communicator, able to introduce ideas in a way that make perfect sense out of complicated dynamics, and leaves parents feeling renewed and ready for action.

Thanks for the gem of a book, Neil McNerney! No wonder its flying off shelves!!" - Laura Chernow, Book Reviewer for The Purcellville Gazette
