How many times would like NOT to say, “Have you done your homework?” this year?

No one is exempt from learning life-skills in youth. But, if children aren’t supported and taught how to do the doing of what you want them to learn the right way, how will they learn?!

Creating daily, on the clock and expected routines for schoolwork is a must to help your children win this year.

1. Establish a “tight schoolwork routine” as soon as school starts so that everyone knows what to expect and will feel great about getting homework done and relaxed for school the next day.

2. Create “homework time” that is met consistently by the student and by you the parent, should they need help.

3. Create a ”homework zone” where everything the child needs is available to sit and study: chair, desk or table, good lighting, quiet, undisturbed, materials needed.

4. Create your availability to help with any questions that arrise that they need help with. Make it easy and okay for them to ask questions about their homework. Even if you don’t know the answer, and say, “I don’t know,” it’s okay. Help them understand how to find the answer.
