Kids HomeWork space
According to Virginia Woolf (A Room of One’s Own, 1929) having a space of your own to work, think and write is absolutely necessary. Give your child a quiet space in your home where they can do their homework every day. This workspace should be:
- Tidy and organized – An organized workspace allows for an organized and clear thought process
- Quiet – Siblings running around, adults talking, music and background noise could make it difficult for your child to concentrate
- Free of electronic distractions – The space your child works in should be free of electronic devices like cell phones, smart phones and TV
- Roomy – most homework tasks require books to be open and notes to be sprawled out – give your child the room they need to move from one book to another easily
- Wired to the Internet – if you’ve got an older child then they will probably need internet access in order to complete their homework. It’s a good idea to have parental controls in place on your home computer and to ensure your child is using the Internet for homework and not for fun!
