*Homework Tips for Parents, Guardians, and Caregivers*

1. Communicate your belief that homework is an important part of learning. When you show that you're serious about homework, your child will take it more seriously.
2. Make an agreement with your child about how much after-school time will be spent doing homework each day. Make sure to ask the classroom teacher.
3. Work with your child to establish a homework schedule and do your part to honor it.
4. Provide a place where your child can work. It should be comfortable, lit, and free from distractions.
5. Create a "homework kit". Include: pencils, erasers, dictionary, rulers, etc. Include anything they may need and put it into a plastic container.
6. Remember that your child's homework is his/her responsibility, not yours. You are only responsible for providing a place where he/she can work.
7. What if your child forgets his/her homework? Or what if the teacher doesn't give any homework on a day? Your child should use the time to work on some other type of learning activity. Example: looking at a newspaper, reading a book, writing a story, or learning about a new topic.

Here are tips that might help your child learn how to make homework less stressful.

1. Stick to a schedule.

2. Practice good time management.

3. Get started early.

4. Review your agenda regularly.

5. Stay organized.

6. Ask the teacher questions.

7. Organize a homework group.

8 . Walk away if it's overwhelming

*If your child is getting frustrated or overwhelmed by a homework assignment or question, encourage him or her to take a break and come back to it. This will give your child a chance to relax and regroup so he or she can come back with a clear mind. Even while completing other tasks, your child’s brain will continue working on problems in the background .*

9. Get plenty of rest.

10 Make sure to make time to relax!!!!!
