(Australia-NewsWire.Com, June 16, 2014 ) Perth, Western Australia -- Homework Help For Parents is dedicated to helping parents with the daily struggle of homework. Michelle Horne, a grade/primary school teacher with over 16 years of experience, has watched many parents struggle to balance the demands of their children's education, with the demands of modern family life. With her background in education, along with being a busy Mum of 3, Michelle felt she had a lot to offer parents.
So together with her husband Stewart, she has launched Homework Help For Parents. Michelle says "Nowadays parents are so very busy and homework is often left up to the child to complete without supervision. Parental input only happens when the child is stuck for answers or needs help with an assignment. Often parents are then shocked or dismayed when they receive a poor report or are called in to a difficult parent/teacher interview".
According to Michelle, problems occur when there is a disconnect between the parent and the child's education. "The less involved the parent is, the more likely it is they will be unaware of any problems that have developed. In many cases, parents can be unaware of problems for several years, problems that get worse, the longer they are left unresolved."
The idea for the business developed over several years. "With my own children I was implementing some very simple ideas that, as a teacher were second nature. When other mothers I knew, began discussing problems they were having, I knew I had something to offer."
Rather than focusing on tutoring services, Homework Help For Parents offers information and practical ideas parents can easily implement. These focus on issues such as how to structure homework routines, how to develop study habits at any age and how to be engaged with the child's teachers so to be sure of exactly how the child is doing.
The company also offers a lot of information on ways parents can use every day experiences and activities to practice subjects like math or art, such as a trip to the mall or a walk along a beach. Spelling, math, reading, writing can all be turned into fun activities.
The Homework Help For Parents website has podcasts, blog posts and other hints and tips all freely available for parents to use and apply. The Homework Help For Parents Face Book page also has fresh content four to five times a day.
Michelle says "We truly want children to have the best possible outcome in their education. Parents can freely access all of our best information. We also have a number of products we are currently developing and will be releasing to market over the coming year"
Homework Help For Parents has a strong emphasis on parental engagement in all aspect of a child's education, from kindergarten to senior high school. All the information on offer is specific to age and subject. The company's message is clear, the more involved the parent is, the more likely the child will have the best possible outcome with their education.
