Tips to Help Your Child Work at Home

1. Limit distractions

You should limit your child's use of their devices, other than what is needed to complete their work, until schoolwork is done. If you choose, you can allow your child to play on a device during a designated break, but make them aware that they only have a limited amount of time until they need to get back to work.

2. Make space for learning

Your child will achieve his or her best work in a quiet, comfortable, and dedicated space that is strictly devoted to learning. This space should be a different set-up than where he or she normally plays games or watches television.

3. Make a daily schedule

A schedule is extremely important. To start, experts recommend keeping them on the same or similar sleeping schedule that they have when they are going into school. Your child's teacher will also provide a recommended work schedule.

4. Maintain breaks

Children will function best if they maintain their routine as close to normal as possible. Setting alarms similar to those they would encounter at school can be helpful for keeping them on a schedule. Around lunch time, encourage them to get up, get some fresh air, go for a walk or bike ride, or have a snack so that they are not sedentary for the entire day

5. Balance screen time

It’s likely that your child will want to continue to use a screen of some sort during their breaks from doing work, so it’s important to limit screen time by mixing in outside play, reading books and completing low-tech activities.
