Have you done your homework?

This book speaks to parents of pre-adolescents who feel they have “tried everything” and offers concrete tools, guided dialogues and practical strategies to reduce the conflicts that arise around homework. Page after page, it helps readers identify where the real difficulty lies: is it simply a lack of motivation? Disorganisation? Poor time management? Or could it relate to deeper issues involving motivation, emotions and self-efficacy?

One of the book’s key strengths is its portrayal of everyday situations through two voices: that of the parent and that of the child. Two perspectives on the same afternoon, often worlds apart. Bringing these viewpoints into dialogue makes it possible to overcome misunderstandings, reduce misinterpretations and build more effective communication.

Written in a clear, direct and non-judgemental language, the volume combines scientific rigour with practical applicability. It includes guiding questions, sample dialogues, checklists, ready-to-use tools and proposals for family discussion to support more targeted and effective intervention.
