Time Crunch

Time management at school

Energy management (to allow adequate capacity to focus)

Time management at home (also a life skill, both modelled by parent, coached by parents, reinforced by parents) as this is the biggest chunk of their day

The importance attached to time management (focused work, not just spending a certain amount of time sitting down and "doing" something)

Is focus on time or focus on the process of getting it done?

Recognition of focused time spent as positive reinforcement of desired behaviour, reward for effort not just outcome

Reinforcement of Learning

Looking at homework as reinforcement of learning rather than stand alone study time.

Looking at homework for the postiive outcomes it brings (potentially) rather than punishment or negative.

How to set up the physical area and timeliness of homework so your child gets the best outcome from themselves in study.

What attitudes and support you bring as a parent to your child doing homework.

Is curriculum at school being completed, do you understand just what is currently being taught, communication with child and with school about what is being taught rather than handballing the process to school alone

Understanding the purpose of the homework not just the necessity of homework
