Reduce conflict around homework.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Help me reduce homework conflict. Child's age: [AGE]. What happens (refusal, tears, delays, shouting): [WHAT_HAPPENS]. What I have tried: [TRIED]. Any information from the teacher: [TEACHER_NOTES]. Analyse patterns using a simple table: trigger, behaviour, my response, result. Propose three experiments for the next three weeks, such as a different time, a break-first approach, or a visual plan. Provide scripts for calm responses and for setting limits kindly. Suggest a conversation with the teacher and a list of questions to ask. Note that persistent distress about school may need support from the school or a health professional, and avoid diagnosis. Add a section about taking care of myself during homework time, with a calm breathing reset in plain terms that is not medical advice, and a plan for stepping away. Provide a short script for a calm, firm closing of the session and a plan for celebrating small successes once the battles ease.
