Setting the Tone for Homework Habits

Homework is an integral part of the school curriculum. Children are more likely to enjoy school and schoolwork if their parents are involved and encouraging. Ask your child daily about activities and accomplishments related to school. Ask your child's teacher at the beginning of the year about communication. Do tests and homework need to be signed? What are the consequences for incomplete homework and late assignments? Find a homework schedule that works for you and your child. Some prefer to start homework right after school to make sure that there is enough time to complete the outlined tasks. All the information learned in school that day is also fresh in you child's mind, allowing for easy recall. If you find your child requires a little break after school then after dinner is another option for a regular homework time. It is best to build a homework schedule into your child's daily routine so that expectations are clearly laid out.
