Set Realistic Goals

• Realistically gauge how much it takes to read a chapter or write a paper.

• Help your younger child develop this habit.

• Every child is different.

• He may need to spend more time on one subject than another subject.

• Teach your child to get in the habit of reviewing every night.

Start Small On Large Projects

• Break down larger projects into smaller activities.

• This method works with everything from research papers to math problems.

Homework Starts During Class Time

If you have a few minutes at the end of a class, use the time to ask your teacher about any questions that will reinforce what you just learned.

Variety Is The Spice Of Life

• It’s crucial to have a well-stocked place to do homework.

• But, sometimes you need a spark of originality.

• Libraries, coffee shops, or even a move to a different room in the house, can prompt your brain to retain information better.

No Interruptions Please

• Research shows that it takes about 25 minutes to return to what they were doing pre-interruption.

• Turn off your cell phone and block social media so you can concentrate on the homework at hand.

• Remember, the sooner you get your tasks done, the sooner you can get back to your friends or gaming.
