If possible, set up a quiet, comfortable study area with good lighting and the school supplies that your children need. Allow your children to studying the way each of them learns best. For example, some children work best when they're lying on the floor with background music playing. Make homework a daily activity and help your children develop good homework habits. A Some students can work with a radio or stereo on while others must work in silence.
Television can be a big problem.
Many teachers ask that the television be turned off while children are doing homework. Research shows that American children on average spend far more time watching television than they do completing homework. Although it's worth noting that television can be a learning tool, it's best to leave the television off during homework time. If you cannot come into the office your student may sign-up for you. Appointments will not be taken over the phone.
