Homework tips
The beginning of the school year is an opportunity for starting new routines which can help to make a big difference in your child’s life. A regular schedule—such as bedtime, wake up, homework, and studying at the same time each day—can really make all of these tasks easier. It may also mean fewer power struggles with your child. When daily activities are routinely accomplished in the same way, kids know what to expect.
Here are 10 tips to help your child with homework:
1. Let your child know that homework is important and valuable.
2. Set a regular time each day for homework, allowing some time to unwind after school before getting started.
3. Be sure your child has all essentials, such as papers, books, and pencils.
4. Help your child get organized by providing folders for papers and a calendar/assignment book.
5. Have a quiet, clean and well-lit place to study, with a comfortable chair. Keep all schoolwork there.
6. Discourage distractions, including T.V./iPads, electronics, etc…, during study time. Allow study breaks at intervals.
7. Be available to answer questions or help quiz your child, but keep homework as his/her responsibility to complete.
8. Spot check some homework when it’s completed, but don’t correct assignments unless the teacher has asked you to do so.
9. Read any comments the teacher has made on returned assignments.
10. If a homework problem arises, contact the teacher for clarification.
