Having a lot of tasks or homework assignments is generally overwhelming for kids. Making a list of everything that needs to be completed is helpful because it provides a visual reminder your child can refer back to and gives them a sense of accomplishment when they can cross off a task they've finished. Consider buying a chalkboard or white board where you can write down to-do lists for personal tasks (get dressed, make bed, brush teeth and hair, etc.) and school work. If an individual school assignment takes more than 15 to 20 minutes to finish, try breaking it into shorter segments that are more manageable.
