Create a proper learning space: Younger kids might not have their own room but that
doesn’t mean parents cannot create a learning space for them to make them feel
like they are in home-school. The learning space should be away from the TV,
video games and you should keep mobiles away from there. Also don’t let your
child eat at the study desk. If your child already has a study desk, make it
more organized as that is where your child will spend the majority of his/her
daily time. When your child is studying in his learning space, he or she should
know that the area is meant only for studying.
Make a daily routine for your kids: When your children go to school, the majority of their
time is spent in a proper schedule. During the vacations, kids are unable to maintain
a routine in their daily lives as they don’t have to go to school. As a number
one homeschooling tip, parents should ensure that they sit down with their kids
and create their own routine to follow at home. A proper routine helps a
child’s body clock adjust in a manner that their eating, sleeping, learning and
playing times remain fixed. If the child gets bored with the routine, change it
in a week again.
Don’t Spoon-feed your children: Since parents are not trained teachers (most of the
time), they might not have the patience to teach children at home the right
way. Parents need to allow children to come up with solutions on their own and
struggle with textbook problems to develop critical thinking skills. Often, to
save time, parents solve the answers in their children’s notebooks and ask the
kids to learn. But this doesn’t teach them anything. So, don’t take the fun out
of learning.
Follow the prescribed curriculum in school: Parents can coordinate with
other parents of their child’s classmates at school to better understand how
others are homeschooling their children and which topics from which subjects
they are tackling and teaching first.
