Make Homework Time More Productive
Setting a regular homework time is one of the most important ways to
help your child use time wisely. Having a regular homework time lets
your child know that schoolwork is a priority in your family. It also
avoids those “I’ll study after this TV show” arguments. Below
are some tips on make homework time more productive.
- Enforce your rule about a regular
time for homework. You may want to tell your child, “No TV until
your homework is finished.”
- Have a regular place for your child
to do homework. Use a desk or a table in a quiet room. Be sure
there is plenty of light.
- During homework time, turn off the
TV and radio.
- Before your child begins, talk with
him about his assignments. Help him plan how he will use his time.
- Set a good example. While your child
is doing homework, spend some time reading or working
yourself. Then when homework is done, you can both talk about how
much that you both have
accomplished.
