Do you find yourself wondering how to complete your geography homework? Are you a parent wondering how to help your children with their geography homework?
Schools seem to be setting more and more homework on topics that were rarely covered only a few years ago, leaving students with a lack of accessible help.
As a teacher with ten years experience I find more and more parents coming to me expressing variations on these problems. The answer I always give them is to spend time together. If the homework needing to be completed is about villages, go outside and look around the village together. Talking openly about what things you both know about the homework topic in general and what things you both want to find out is always a good starting point. It can allow you both to discover a good 'working' relationship.
The adult needs to listen carefully and then supply what knowledge they have. A parent without any schooling after 16 will know a huge amount about the world in general and this is an important resource that they should not be too scared to offer.
Don't get hurried into finding the 'answer' and also allow yourselves to be taken off topic. At the very least the time you spend together will improve communication and allow for you to both express your ideas and knowledge to each other in the future.
