We received a great question from a mom which we answer in today\u2019s episode.

Just a reminder \u2014 we love receiving questions. Feel free to ask us anything by visiting podcast.extraordinaryfamilylife.com where you can leave us a voice or text message.

This mom asked:

\u201cI have a 13-year-old daughter. She gets\xa0homework\xa0from\xa0coop\xa0 & every week it\u2019s a battle. I remind her about her\xa0assignment- she says yes, I know\u2026 and gets mad at me every time I bring it up but then either doesn\u2019t do it or is up late the night before it\u2019s due. Wisdom - please!!!!\u201d

This is a challenge that all of us have faced \u2014 likely more than once \u2014 as parents. And it\u2019s something that can be extremely irritating and draining \u2014 mentally and emotionally.

So how can we reduce the battles, not just around homework, but chores and anything else our kids 'should' do \u2014 and ultimately, help our children to WANT to do the things they\u2019re \u2018supposed\u2019 to do?

Because that\u2019s the IDEAL \u2014 not just that our kids do what we ask them to, but that they learn to do things on their own because they WANT to do it.\xa0

If this is something you\u2019ve ever struggled with as a parent \u2014 and wondered if there was a better way \u2014 then listen to this episode now.
