    Homework Tips
    Although it may be hard to believe, you can actually help your child enjoy doing homework.    When you provide the necessary support and encouragement, most children will rise to the occasion and do their best on their assignments.

    · Encouragement - Give your child praise for efforts and for completing assignments.
    · Availability - Encourage your child to do the work independently, but be available for assistance.
    · Scheduling - Establish a set time to do homework each day. You may want to use a calendar to keep track of assignments and due dates.   
    · Space - Provide a space for homework, stocked with necessary supplies (pencils, pens, paper, dictionaries, a computer, etc.).
    · Discipline - Help your child focus on homework by removing distractions, such as TV, radio, telephone, and interruptions from siblings and friends.
    ·Modeling - Consider doing some of your work, such as paying bills or writing letters, during your child's homework time.
    · Support - Talk to your child about difficulties with homework. Be willing to talk to your child's teacher to resolve problems in a positive manner.
    · Involvement - Make sure that you and your child understand the teacher's expectations.
