Learning and Homework Tips
 
  • Children learn better when they are not distracted by hunger. Encourage your child to eat a nutritious breakfast.

     

  • Provide a positive homework atmosphere for your child that is free of clutter and distractions, including television.

     

  • Show your child you are interested in his or her work. Re-explain assignments if necessary, and check to see that homework is completed.

     

  • Having trouble fitting homework into your child's schedule? You may need to cut back on his or her activities, or see that after-school care includes supervised homework time.

     

  • If your child is struggling with a particular subject, and you aren't able to help him or her yourself, a tutor can be a good solution. Talk it over with your child's teacher first.
