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.<\/p>\n

— Schedule ample time for homework.
\n— Establish a household rule that the TV set stays off during homework time.
\n— Supervise computer and internet use.
\n— Be available to answer questions and offer assistance, but never do a child’s homework for her.<\/p>\n

— Take steps to help alleviate eye fatigue, neck fatigue and brain fatigue while studying. It may be helpful to close the books for a few minutes, stretch, and take a break periodically when it will not be too disruptive.
\n— If your child is struggling with a particular subject, and you aren’t able to help her yourself, a tutor can be a good solution. Talk it over with your child’s teacher first.<\/p>\n
