Developing Good Homework
And Study Habits
 

 
Daily Bread
Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the heights above. Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
Psalm 148:1-3
Have you done your homework yet?

Many parents consider homework one of the most stressful issues they encounter as parents.

But with a little planning, the homework process can go a lot smoother. Consider these tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics:

  • Create an environment that is conducive to doing homework. Youngsters need a permanent work space in their bedroom or another part of the home that offers privacy.
  • Set aside ample time for homework.
  • Establish a household rule that the TV set stays off during homework time.
  • Be available to answer questions and offer assistance, but never do a child's homework for him or her.
  • To help alleviate eye fatigue, neck fatigue and brain fatigue while studying, it is recommended that youngsters close the books for 10 minutes every hour and go do something else.
  • If your child is struggling with a particular subject, and you aren't able to help, a tutor can be a good solution. Talk it over with your child's teacher first.

Now go get that homework done!
