Here are some tips to help yourself or your child create a study schedule. First, choose a place to study or work in your home that is quiet and distraction-free. Be sure there is ample lighting available. When it’s time to start, make a short list of priorities so nothing gets missed. Be sure you don't overwhelm yourself with too many tasks; the ones that are due soon are the ones you need to tackle. If you're helping a child study, stay nearby in case they need assistance. Once they are done, go over their answers giving encouragement and help if they didn’t grasp the instructions. It’s very important that you remain patient and positive! If homework takes longer than 30 minutes to complete, allow your child to take a 5-minute break to avoid overwhelm. After a few weeks, your child will be taking these steps before you even know.
