of your child’s day. Both parents and students can benefit from learning how to deal with homework
stress, and turn it into a positive learning experience.

HOW TO AVOID HOMEWORK STRESS

Here are 10 tips to help your child learn how to make homework less stressful.

1 STICK TO A SCHEDULE

Help your child plan out his or her time, scheduling time for homework, chores, activities, and sleep.
Keep this schedule handy so your child knows what he or she should be working on, and when.

2 PRACTISE GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT

When it’s time to get to work on homework assignments, make sure your child is focused on the task at
hand. Remove distractions like cell phones or television so your child can complete his or her
homework and stay on schedule.

3 GET STARTED EARLY

Every day right after school, sit down with your child and go over homework assignments for each FIND YOUR LOCATION CALL US TODAY English

class. Help him or her make a list of what should be completed that night and get started early.

Waiting to get started until later in the evening means your child has less time (and energy) to

complete his or her homework, leading more stress for both of you.   FIND A LOCATION FIND A PROGRAM 

4 REVIEW YOUR AGENDA REGULARLY

Your child should have an agenda where he or she writes down all homework and assignments given
by the teacher. Have your child review the agenda each day to make sure he or she knows what
homework assignments need to be completed.

5 STAY ORGANIZED

An unorganized homework station can be distracting. Make sure the space is kept neat and tidy and
has all the supplies your child will need to complete his or her homework, including pencils, paper, and
textbooks.

6 ASK THE TEACHER QUESTIONS

As much as parents would like to help their children with homework, the material taught in school has
changed a lot over the years. If your child is struggling with homework, make a list of questions he or
she can take to the teacher to get the help needed to understand the assignment.

7 ORGANIZE A HOMEWORK GROUP

Creating a homework group can help make homework less overwhelming by giving your child the
chance to go over the material with his or her classmates. This gives kids the opportunity to better
understand the material by teaching it to each other and working through any questions as a team.

8 WALK AWAY IF IT’S OVERWHELMING

If your child is getting frustrated or overwhelmed by a homework assignment or question, encourage
him or her to take a break and come back to it. This will give your child a chance to relax and regroup
so he or she can come back with a clear mind. Even while completing other tasks, your child’s brain
will continue working on problems in the background.

9 MAKE TIME TO RELAX

Set aside time for your child to do something that he or she enjoys, whether it’s an activity at home or
an organized extracurricular activity. On top of helping your child get important exercise, it will also
give him or her a break from homework stress and an outlet for any frustration or extra energy.

10 GET A GOOD NIGHT’S REST

Get your child into a regular sleep routine so he or she has a chance to recharge after the day. Children
6-13 years old should get 9 to 11 hours of sleep each night, while teenagers need 8 to 10 hours of
sleep. Getting the recommended amount of sleep will help make sure your child is ready to tackle
another day of school and homework assignments.

NO MORE HOMEWORK STRESS

Learning how to handle homework stress will help your child get more out of homework assignments,
while also helping him or her develop better learning habits. Using these tips, your child can learn to
tackle homework with more confidence and less frustration.
