Organize
Organize - Start with a plan
Help your child organize his afternoon and evening everyday. As soon as your child arrives home from school help him make a plan for that evening. Review the homework plan (time and place) that you agreed upon.
If you don’t see your child until you get home from work, leave a checklist on the table that he can use to organize the evening.
Checklist
What do I have for homework?
When do I start my homework?
What other activities do I have this evening?
Do I have all the materials and supplies I need to do my homework?
Do I need to adjust my schedule in any way this evening?
What time is dinner?
