Supporting Academic Success: Homework Without Battles
Help your child thrive academically without becoming their tutor, nag, or homework police
Academic struggles aren't about intelligence or effort. They're usually about executive function skills, learning differences, environment, or mismatched support. These games help you identify what's actually getting in the way, teach organizational skills your child can use independently, and shift from homework battles to collaborative problem-solving. Your job isn't to do the work for them. It's to teach them how to do it themselves.

Why Homework Becomes a Battle
Homework struggles aren't about laziness or defiance. They're usually about skills gaps, overwhelm, environment, or power struggles. This quiz helps you identify the real issue so you can address the root cause, not just the symptom. Answer honestly based on what typically happens in your home.
Remember: Most homework battles are solvable with the right strategies. This isn't about being a "good" or "bad" parent. It's about finding what works for your specific child and situation.

Teach your child how to study effectively (they weren't born knowing)
Nobody Teaches Kids How to Study
Teachers say "revise for the test" but rarely teach HOW to revise. They assign reading but don't teach HOW to read actively. Your child isn't lazy or unmotivated. They genuinely don't know the techniques. This toolkit gives you practical, age-appropriate strategies to teach them.
How to use this: Select your child's age group below. Each skill includes techniques for that age, teaching tips for you, and downloadable guides your child can use independently.

Learning Style Detective
Discover how your child learns best and adapt your approach
Not All Brains Learn the Same Way
Some children remember everything they see. Others need to hear it explained. Some can't sit still whilst learning. Others need to read and write to make sense of information. None of these are better or worse. They're just different. When you understand HOW your child learns, you can adapt your teaching to match their brain.
How to use this: Answer 12 questions about how your child naturally learns and processes information. Think about what they do instinctively, not what you wish they'd do. Be honest for accurate results.

Know when struggles are normal vs when professional support is needed
Not Every Struggle Needs Professional Help
Some academic struggles are developmental, temporary, or solvable with better strategies at home. But some are red flags for learning disabilities, ADHD, processing disorders, or anxiety that need professional assessment. This tool helps you distinguish between the two and know your next steps.
Important: This is not a diagnostic tool. It's guidance to help you decide if evaluation is warranted. Only qualified professionals can diagnose learning disabilities or ADHD. Trust your parental instinct alongside this tool.
