My nine-year-old daughter, Maria, is in Grade Two. Every evening we get into homework
  battles (争执). Three afternoons a week, she has sport~ after school. When we get home, homework is
  the last thing she likes to do. The other two days, she gets home early. I think she should do her
  homework just after school. But she thinks she should have some time to rest and play first. When
  Maria finally sits down to do her homework. she wants me to help her, I do wan! to help, but I'm sure
  she needs to do it by herself (全靠她自己). And most of the time, I have to do other things. 
     Children these days have much more homework, than we did, and some of it is really difficult for them.
  As you can see, I'm really worried about homework and I really don't know what I should do. Any
  ideas? Help me!
