Home Routines & Monitoring

Discuss and set priorities (Homework vs play vs enrichment tasks)

Have a timetable / schedule for after school hours (e.g. homework time, play time, rest time, lunch time, family time) and encourage your child to follow the schedule

Follow a strict bed-time routine (e.g. bedtime at 9 p.m. every weekday)

Cultivate good habits (E.g. packing the schoolbag every day, preparing the uniform before bedtime)

Have a specific and proper study area away from distractions

Keep study area as neat and organised as possible

Keep books and related school work / materials in a place where your child can manage on his/her own

Actively monitor your child's daily work and progress 

Set clear expectations and follow through with consequences

Closely monitor your child's after-school activities and dismissal times

Schedule an appropriate time for using the device, and plan fun physical activities for your child to engage in at other times.

Refrain from putting TV and electronic gadgets in your child’s bedroom, and put away such devices after use.

Observe ‘tech-free’ times (e.g. during meals, homework and bedtime)

Monitor access by using the device together with your child
