As you know parenting requires many judgment calls, including numerous decisions related to schoolwork. Teachers are always stressing how important it is for parents to be involved in the education of their children, but how much is too much? Here is are basic homework tips for parents on how to effectively reinforce those skills at home:
- Get to know the teachers.
- Set up a homework-friendly area. Keep supplies — paper, pencils, glue, scissors — within reach.
- Schedule a regular study time. Some kids work best in the afternoon, following a snack and play period; others may prefer to wait until after dinner.
- Keep the distractions to a minimum.
- Make sure kids do their own work. Don't do it for them!
- Get involved in your child's academic career. Ask about assignments, quizzes, and tests.
- Set a good example. Do your kids see you reading the newspaper, writing letters, or reading a book?
- Praise their work and efforts. Be encouraging.
- If there are continuing problems with homework, talk with your child's teacher. Get if you suspect there's a learning disability, vision or hearing problems.
