Part 2
1. Allow your child to move around and be a little “restless” while working on homework. Standing up or stretching may help him/her remain on task.
2. Post rules and expectations near your child’s homework area and review them often.
3. Limit visual stimuli, distractions, and excessive noise. Background music or “white noise” may help some students focus and concentrate.
4. Don’t expect your child to work on homework for a long period of time. Offer breaks and allow two or three short homework sessions, as opposed to one long homework session. Don’t overload your child with too much information.
15. Encourage your child and help him/her stay focused on homework by placing your hand on a shoulder or initiating other physical contact.
