With distractions facing your child at every turn and a packed schedule of your own that needs attention, it often feels like an uphill battle.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re here to give you the tools we use, as educators, to get through those sticky periods. It doesn\u2019t have to be perfect, we just need to push through.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, use the knowledge you already have about your children\u2019s behaviour to your advantage. You know your own children better than anyone else!<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-1{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Stay positive<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p>Easier said than done, we know. But a little positivity can go a long way. When kids can feel your frustration, they\u2019ll mirror your behaviour. More than that, they\u2019ll begin to associate learning with stress.<\/p>\n<p>This doesn\u2019t mean you have to be all sunshine and daisies 24\/7 but when you can feel yourself getting annoyed, take a step away, give them an independent activity and let yourself breathe.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re not a college professor and that\u2019s ok. Start the day with a smile on your face and your kids will be better for it.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-2{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Praise positive behaviour<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p>We know, from countless studies, that praising positive behaviour is infinitely more effective than punishing bad behaviour.\u00a0 In education this concept is called a growth mindset. It\u2019s the idea that intelligence can be developed. Students with a growth mindset understand they can get smarter through hard work and the use of effective strategies.<\/p>\n<p>The focus of success should always be the work not a natural skill. When discussing successes at home make sure to emphasize the work they put in, rather than the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>For home-learning in particular, make sure to also praise kindness, patience and respect. When there behaviours are reinforced with recognition they become more long-lasting attitudes.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-3{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Break up learning time<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>Even when school is in session there are breaks between lessons. Make sure to regularly schedule breaks that flow well with the kids\u2019 attention spans. Get them up and moving so they get out all that extra energy and are ready to return to their work.<\/p>\n<p>Bonus points if you can get some sunshine in there (within lockdown restrictions, of course).<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-4{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Celebrate achievements<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p>Who doesn\u2019t love to see their name on the top of the leaderboard? Make sure to put any achievements on display at home. These don\u2019t just have to be academic achievements, celebrate new personal bests or some really special artwork.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of recognition validates their learning and motivates them to do more.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-5{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-5 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Use rewards as incentives<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><p>How many times have you told yourself: \u201cIf I finish this report, I am allowed to have a glass of wine.\u201d? The same incentivizing logic applies to children. Use rewards to make sure big tasks get done. Here are just a few examples of things you can put on offer:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cooking a favourite meal<\/li>\n<li>Watching a movie of their choice<\/li>\n<li>Finishing up early<\/li>\n<li>Playing a game together<\/li>\n<li>Quality time with Mum or Dad<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-6{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Change up the scenery<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p>Break things up by learning in an outdoor area, the lounge, or even the dining table. Moving around keeps things fresh and can help eliminate some of the restlessness that comes from being in one spot for most of the day.\u00a0 Just make sure there are minimal distractions in your new location.<\/p>\n<p>Side note: Be careful to reserve this for when the kids are really getting restless. Learning at home works best when there\u2019s a designated area \u2013 you don\u2019t want them wandering all over the house and \u2018learning\u2019 in front of the TV.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-7{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-7 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Discuss their learning<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p>Encourage the whole family to talk about what they\u2019ve learned at the dinner table. Remember, it should be a two-way conversation. They\u2019ll become more engaged with their learning and take ownership of it.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-8{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-8 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Schedule group studies<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><p>Your kids miss their friends too! If possible, work with parents to set up a Zoom study date. Your children will get to socialize with peers outside the home, they can work on tricky problems and (hopefully) have a laugh. It\u2019s good for the soul and the brain.<\/p>\n<p>Pro-trip: Older siblings can also help out with teaching the younger ones. Kids love to play the teacher and it facilitates the learning of both parties.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-9{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-9 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Set goals together<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-10\"><p>What do you want to achieve from home learning? What are your kids looking to get out of this experience? Sit down together and build out a list of goals. Make sure they are formatted to be challenging but attainable.<\/p>\n<p>For example, challenge your children to get a certificate in an EdTech program such as Mathletics. Small but challenging goals like this can encourage your learned to take ownership over their learning by giving them something to work towards<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-10{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-10 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">Be gentle with one another<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-11\"><p>We keep coming back to this but that\u2019s because it\u2019s probably the most important reminder during lockdown. Everyone is processing this situation differently &#8211; from your littles ones to your coworkers to your partner.<\/p>\n<p>The best gifts we can give one another are kindness and understanding.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:768px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-11{margin-top:11px!important;margin-bottom:11px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-11 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"margin-top:22px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:22px;margin-left:0px;\"><h2 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:24;line-height:1.95;\">We can do hard things<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-12\"><p>There is no question that this is a very challenging time. We are adjusting to a new normal and no one is expecting you to be perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your expectations attainable. Remember to prioritize your family\u2019s well-being over all things. It\u2019s better to leave this lockdown with happy, healthy kids than with tense, overworked little humans.
