Moms Talk: At What Age Should Children Have Homework?

Our question this week deals with homework and whether it is beneficial or too much for young children.

Just the other day, a member of our Moms Council said one of her children who attends kindergarten was sent home with what she believed was too much homework for someone so young.

So that got us thinking about our question for this week:

At what age should children be assigned homework? Also, is it OK for adults to help or should the children be left to their own devices?
