money in it. You can also bring your own
lunch or just sit with your child while he/she
eats at the designated family table.

Students who do their homework consistently
tend to have better grades. It’s not always easy
to get them to do their homework, especially
after a busy day, but these tips can help:
 Talk to your child about their
homework. Homework helps them
practice what they’ve learned.
 Select a fixed time to do homework.
The best time to do homework is the
one that works best for your child and
you.

Pick a quiet area and eliminate
distractions. To help children focus on
homework, pick a place in the house
where there’s plenty of light and no
distractions.
