There should be time set aside each day for homework. As mentioned previously, your child should be involved in choosing when doing homework will take place. Remember that the amount of time involved in completing homework will vary depending on your child's grade level. Even on days when no homework has been assigned, you might have your child spend a portion of their regular homework time reviewing, reading, or practicing other skills. A place to work.
Every job requires certain tools and a space where that job can best be performed.
Help your child create a study area that is suited to their style. Some children need a place that is completely free of distractions like the solitude of their bedroom. Others are more productive in an area where they are surrounded by the general hustle and bustle of family life, like the kitchen table. Many children would have you believe that they do their best work sitting in front of the television with the stereo blaring. Perhaps there is that rare person who can perform under such conditions.
