Have A New Calendar For The New School Year
According to childmind.org, the first tip to enable your child to succeed during the new school year is to have a new calendar for the new school year. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy or creative. You can buy a new one at walmart. Remember to put all your child’s homework assignments, tests, and paper due dates in this calendar.
Have Backup Items
In addition to having a new calendar, according to childmind.org, it is important to have backup items. Be sure to buy these at the beginning of the school year. As the school year continues, you will use up your school supplies over time. You will also be busy with homework assignments, tests, and papers. You will not have time to run out to the food store, walmart, bjs, etc. Buy the school supplies when they are on sale at the end of the summer. This way, you can put them in a storage container in a closet, and your child will have them ready to use once they run out of their old supplies.
Set Up A Homework Routine
In addition to having a new calendar for the new school year and having back up items, according to childmind.org, it is also important to set up a homework routine. This is especially important for individuals with ADHD who have difficulty staying on task at times. Once your child comes in from the bus stop or you drive them home from school, they can have a snack, play outside, then start their homework. This can be a solid routine for your child. You can also adjust it for their comfort level.
