I am sure this will be the most useful book I have purchased in years. Homework time at our house has always been a two hour nightly ordeal, complete with crying, screaming and lots of drama. Seven Steps to Homework Success contains just the strategies I have needed to understand to help my child learn to do homework on his own. I'm sure this book will make a big difference for our family and in my child's schoolwork.

I wish I had this book when my older daughter was in elementary school. It would have saved us a lot of headaches. The authors present a very good argument for the importance of homework and give concrete directions for parents to follow which teaches children how to do homework on their own. We made a "Learning Station" for our child as the book suggests and my son loves it.

I have been an educator and a parent for over thirty years. I have read many printed documents on homework issues. This book has excellent information and is the best book I have seen so far on the issue. I would recommend it to anyone looking for information and/or help in assisting children and/or teachers with the homework issues we face today.

This book would be an excellent source for parents, teachers and/or administrators. I would hope to find it in every public and school library in the country.

This book will help your child and you feel much better about the homework process. Dr. Zentall and Dr. Goldstein really put homework in the right perspective. Teach your child how to do it and be available to assist if necessary.

Received book in condition stated and in a timely manner. Would buy again from this seller.

From Dean R. Garrison, author of "Ending the Homework Wars":

"Seven Steps to Homework Success" provides parents with many useful guidelines and tips that address a variety of homework difficulties. The book is designed to help children with some motivation to do well with school and homework to develop the "skills" that support homework success. In contrast, my book, "Ending the Homework Wars", provides parents with a powerful system designed to achieve exceptional results with even the most challenging homework difficulties presented by children and teens.

"Ending the Homework Wars" features the Homework Success Master Plan, enabling parents to design a step-by-step program tailor-made to the unique needs of each particular child or teen. The book also includes a powerful, proven approach for gaining significant improvement in children's behavior and motivation, step-by-step routines that simplify daily homework tasks and responsibilities, strategies for helping students remember, stay organized and keep track of assignments and materials, solutions to children who lie about not having any homework, re-evaluating children's needs for tutoring services, guidelines for healthy nutrition and exercise, strategies for improving parent consistency, guidelines for addressing children's special needs, including children with ADHD, gifted underachievers and children with learning disabilities, and trouble-shooting strategies.

"Seven Steps to Homework Success" provides useful guidelines for parents that promote better homework outcomes for many children, particularly those in the earlier grades. "Ending the Homework Wars" provides parents with a proven system for achieving exceptional results with children of all grade levels--- elementary through high school--- including those children and teens parents have found most challenging.
