Homework Headquarters
Mamas&Papas|March 2018

Encourage a positive attitude to homework by creating a designated homework area for your child

Homework Headquarters
Does your child complete their homework on their bed? Or worse, in the TV room? Creating a special place for your child to do their homework can help motivate them to get it done! Perhaps the most important aspect of a homework/study area is that it needs to be in a quiet section of the house and free from distractions.

A Clean And Simple Set Up Opt for a desk and chair that is simple in design and can grow with your child. Let your child choose a cushion for support or height.
