Study Habits Form Foundation of Academic Success

School is still several weeks away in most parts of the country. But it’s never too early for parents to help their kids develop patterns that will translate into good study habits once class is in session.

“Ideally, you establish strong study habits from a young age. This requires that you ensure your child does their homework even if they don’t feel like it. You should work to set a good example, too. If you bring work home with you, complete it when you tell them it’s the ‘best time to do their homework.’” [Source: Helium]

During the summer months, parents should emphasize the importance of finishing what you start – even if the child doesn’t like the task. If fact, it’s best to do the tasks you don’t like first, and get them out of the way; something you can model for your teens during the summer and teach them to do once school starts.

Good advice, as the school year is now starting in my part of the country.
