Homework Trick

Does anyone else have a problem with getting their child to do homework?? Lane absolutely hates homework (I have to say I was exactly the same way. paybacks...ugh!)
Well, I would ask him if he had homework and he would say no. Many days would go by and I would wonder why in the world our 6th grader never has homework. I am always hearing other moms complaining about their child having tons of homework. Well, we are really trying to get our children to learn about their choices and their consequences - kinda the whole love and logic theory (to some degree. not fond of most of it though). A trick I learned to find out if he really has homework: don't ask him if he has homework. ask him what subjects he has homework in.
It's amazing how changing your words up can make such a difference. It tricked him. I found out. Now, I need a trick to actually get him to do it!
