Problems with homework;<\/strong> it\u2019s one of the most common complaints we hear about children and adolescents from parents with whom we work.<\/p>\n Some of these problems are, in fact, problems, but many of the problems are just normal issues that need a little re-examination or adjustment to get the students back on track. Let\u2019s start with the basics:<\/p>\n 1) Environment<\/strong>:\u00a0 Location, location, location; it\u2019s important in real estate, and it\u2019s important for homework. Homework should be completed in a distraction-free environment that is comfortable for the student. This can be flexible, but examples include a kitchen table, the dining room table, a kitchen counter, or maybe a desk. This space should be uncluttered.<\/p>\n For most typical kids, their bedroom is likely not a good space to use. There are too many items, toys, and activities that are readily available to take their attention away from completing their homework.<\/p>\n
