While these assignments are meant to instill basic principles that they learn in school, homework is more than just something to complete as quickly as possible. It is a great way to spend time with your child and encourage excitement for learning. Here are some ways to best help your preschooler with their homework.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Set a routine<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Children respond best to routines and a reliable schedule to fall back on. Making homework time the same time every day is the best way to get your child into the habit of working on schoolwork at home without question. Remember &#8211; little kids can get distracted easily or may not see their home as a place for sitting still and learning yet. Find a place that is quiet, free of distractions, and comfortable for your preschooler to focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Mentally prepare your child<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your preschooler is too tired, excited, hungry, or cranky, they won\u2019t be able to focus or do well on their schoolwork, and they will begin to assign negative attributes to homework. Making sure your child is well-fed and well rested before starting homework will help them do their very best!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Homework can be fun<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Making homework a chore or form of punishment is a fast way to get your child to dread and reject all things school-related. Show positivity and excitement when talking about schoolwork and even incorporate games or music into finishing their assignment if your child responds well to that. Remember, the homework belongs to the child&#8211; Let them own it! Just step back and let your little genius work! You might be amazed how much they can do on their own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lastly, remember to ask the right questions. Your preschooler\u2019s homework will be based on things that were talked about in school, so they should only need some gentle prompting to remind them of what they learned. Give them the time and space to answer the questions without giving them the answer first, and lead them to the correct place from there.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog and want to read more, click below for our blog from last month!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/charlotte\/2020\/08\/01\/be-kind-to-humankind-week-with-your-preschooler\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Be Kind to HumanKind Week with Your Preschooler<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsrkidscharlotte.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Charlotte<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Charlotte, North Carolina?
