A practical guide to turn homework time into a positive learning experience

This is the first book of a new series of Breakthrough Guides for pre-adolescents’ parents who feel they have “tried everything” … and nothing worked!

Homework often becomes a source of daily tension, where parents struggle to support without overstepping and children feel overwhelmed, unmotivated, or dependent. In this context, the book Have you done your homework responds to the need for clear, practical guidance with an approach that is both accessible and immediately applicable.

Rather than focusing solely on performance, the book shifts the perspective towards the learning process. It supports adults in helping children develop autonomy, motivation, and effective study habits, offering concrete strategies to manage homework time in a more constructive and sustainable way.
