When the children begin School stage it is the parents who are aware of the children's homework, the extracurricular activities ... At the beginning it is normal for the parents to organize the Time but we must instill in them that they are the ones who organize the tasks.
El place of study It is something that although some parents think that doing homework in the living room or kitchen is the same as in their bedroom, they have to have a place for themselves and away from distractions in order to create a study habit. For organize the study time we can do with them a calendar where we give you the freedom to choose your schedule within a reasonable margin.
The best time to do homework is by pm around five o'clock since after eating the body usually collapses and we must give it a little rest.
If the child has extracurricular activities it is very important that homework is done before to go to the activity because later they will be tired and less willing to do them. We can find children who have a hard time doing their homework and are lazy until they go to the activity they have later, so if we have to "punish" them without going to the activity, we will have to do it so that they understand that the priority It is in their studies and then as a reward the activity they do.
El place of study it is also very important so you have to avoid all distraction, the ideal would be that each child has in his room his study space with his desk and materials by hand so they don't have to get up to get anything. If it is not possible for them to have this space because the room is small or for any other reason, we must prepare a place of the house for such a function without forgetting that there can be no distractions such as toys, the television on or a place of passage for the members of the house. So if we decide to do homework in the classroom for example, during that period of time we must avoid distractions (television and radio turned off).
