The dreaded Homework battle…
Homework, the dreaded word that most students hate to hear.

So how do you help your children become more productive with their homework?
Set regular daily homework plans.
- Setting a daily homework plans can help get your children into a consistent routine.
- The time will differ for everyone, but straight after school is usually a good option as your children will still be in the school mindset.
- Once they get used to this routine, homework will become a daily task rather than something to keep putting off.
Set a homework space away from distractions.
- Setting a designated homework space is a great way to boost productivity.
- If you have an office in your home, this works great. If not, making a space somewhere away from distractions will allow your children to stay focused and motivated whilst doing homework.

- Sometimes, depending on the work they have been assigned, this will not be possible. But when it is, varying the tasks they have to do each day will stop them become bored and de-motivated after one task.

This will aid in the development of key skills that will be vital in further education and work life.
