I tried this out with my daughter at home. She has field hockey every day until 5 PM. Furthermore, she has dance afterwards. Sometimes she gets home at eight and we are finally eating dinner. I know she wants to unwind by watching TV or using her cell phone. We used the acronym "CLUES" to come up with a solution. I I listened to her needs (time to unwind). I also stated that she needs to finish homework as soon as possible (My needs). Therefore, we came up with options and solutions. She is allowed to have a little unwind time (30 minutes) as soon as she gets her homework done. Therefore, we both get what we want.
