into school swing. Here are some helpful hints toget things started in the right direction.
Homework Hints ~1. Agree on a “Homework Time”2. Set up a study area away from the T.V. at atable or a desk.3. Do the most difficult subjects first.4. Give yourself plenty of time.5. Get plenty of rest!6. Set up an incentive with your child for fillingin their assignment notebook, this is a habit thatwe want them to get into.
Also, here is a helpful link for morehomework tips for parents:http://kidshealth.org/parent/positive/learning/homework.html
