Homework is one of the top stressors for middle schoolers, often leading to frustration, anxiety, and even physical symptoms like headaches and stomachaches. In this episode, former school counselor Karen Brisport explores why homework can feel overwhelming for kids and offers three practical strategies to make it manageable:1. Create a distraction-free homework environment that promotes focus. 2. Partner with teachers to identify deeper challenges, from learning difficulties to anxiety. 3. Leverage school resources such as peer study groups, homework clubs, and online tools.  The goal? To help middle schoolers not just get through homework, but thrive in both academics and life.
