She always has a stash of healthy snacks available for her students when they come for tutoring or coaching! Another great suggestion is to have a study corner set up for them that isn’t in their bedroom. The kitchen, family room or dining area are great places where they can sit and do their homework! Have a basket handy with any supplies they will need to finish their work. Make sure the area is quiet and relatively distraction-free. Be sure to give your child plenty of positive reinforcement and praise. If you notice they are doing a great job focusing on their work, don’t hesitate to say, “great job staying focused!” or “you’re doing an awesome job with your work”. Little words of encouragement go a long way! The last thing is to have a Time Timer or other countdown device handy so they can see how much time they have left until they can take a break or they are done with their assignments. Visually seeing the time is great way for them to work on time management. All of Coach Candace’s tips are designed to help your child maximize their after school time so they can accomplish all of their work and still have time to have some fun!
