I think when they are at primary school, helping them through their small amount of homework is family time. Take reading .. you would normally buy them books and read to them wouldn't you ? Helping them with the words, etc. You are educating your children all the time whether it's how to plant a hyacinth bulb in a pot or showing your lad how to change a plug.

You teach them to count and learn the colours at a very early age .. all education So not too sure exactly what you mean by family time davo69.

Ok .. when they get to secondary school, can be a little difficult, because you have forgotten half of the things they are given. Just as long as you can give them a decent space and ask to see their homework book and then enquire if it is done .. maybe just ask to see it/what marks they got for last's weeks homework, that's all that may be required.
