Where Should My Child Study?
The place selected for doing homework should be lit with a good surface for writing and a comfortable but firm chair- no lounging. It should be stocked with study equipment such as pencils, pens, paper, dictionary, thesaurus, and atlas, near other resource books. The study place should be private, away from distractions such as the telephone, television, or music. But it should be public enough so that you can monitor activity, making sure that quality work is underway.
