Homework always gets harder in the last weeks of school, not because our kids are lazy, but because their brains and bodies are tired from months of pushing through systems that rarely meet their needs. For Black and brown parents raising neurodiverse children, this can feel like one more place you have to advocate alone. Genie breaks down why homework becomes such a fight, why schools may suddenly stop assigning it, and what parents can do right now to protect learning and sanity for everyone. This episode is about changing the narrative: homework time can be reclaimed as a space for growth, connection, and even a little joy, no matter what the school sends home.
\"It's the last three weeks of school. Not because your kids are lazy, they're just tired because school's wrapping up. They still have to do homework. They're overstimulated.\"-Genie
\"Most often, these children are behind. So this is why my client is so adamant about this homework.\"-Genie
\"If you have a neurodiverse child at home and you got them buying in all the way, let me tell you, they will remind you...and that's why I always say it's important that you're having conversations with your child as much as possible.\"-Genie
