At times, it may seem like homework and studies are the last thing on our child's mind. Unfortunately, this can reflect on their grades and overall performance in school.

Trying to stay on top of things when it comes to studies can always lead to anxiety and frustration. But with proper training, and the right skills, your child has full potential of becoming a successful student.

Get your child in the habit of coming up with to do lists. Let them use this to keep track of assignments, chores around the house, and things to bring for class.

Have your child keep a small pad or notebook especially for listing down these tasks. Once they accomplish one task, have them cross it off from the list. Seeing a completed to do list will instill a strong sense of accomplishment in your child. It will also help him prioritize assignments and household chores over less important things.

Don't forget that a stable routine is also imperative to your child's success in school. Have your child study in the same place everyday. This place should be a quiet location in your home, where there would be very little distractions to your child while he is doing homework. Also, make sure that all your child's study materials and supplies are accessible in that area.

Have your child follow a strict routine at home when it comes to bedtime and watching television. Children with a regular bedtime come to school well-rested and well-prepared for various types of academic work.

However, before your child goes to bed, make sure he prepares everything he'll need for the next day of class. This includes books, homework, as well as what he'll be wearing the next day. This lessens the amount of time to get ready in the morning and it helps your child make sure that he doesn't leave anything he may need for school.

And last but not the least, encourage your child to sort through his things on a weekly basis. This helps them avoid accumulating unnecessary clutter.
