Spend meaningful time with your kids with these top 5 tips.

Finding time for recreation with your kids is a struggle... far less for finding time to help them with their schoolwork. Here are some tips to help:

(1) Parents should be aware of their children's timetable; this will help them to sync the work schedule with their child's free time. Therefore, a complete timetable can be made of free time of both parties and support can be shown.

(2) Place children as priority over the job. Yes, your job is important but taking the time to invest in your children's future should be a greater goal.

(3) Delegate responsibilities to your adult children or spouse, hence freeing your time to assist in younger child's homework.

(4) Try to establish a routine between school, pick up and drop off, work and extracurricular activities. Setting this routine will allow everyone to understand the importance of time management

(5) Take time not to stress and take time for self-reflection. Free time may present itself if you are aware of who and what are your duties. This can only come with a clear mind.

5 habits that lead to studying success.
(a) Find the ideal location.
It should have all the amenities that will make your study experience ideal for nurturing that development. Claim it as your special space or spot, be it at your home, library or even the park.
(b) Make studying fun!
Or at least try to make it interactive. Studying and fun may not come in the same sentence when relating to children, but there are many apps and quizzes online that have interactive games and competitions that they can get involved in. You can set personal goals and setting that you have up in your room and once something is achieved you can tick it off, hence you can see your progress and be motivated to continue working.

(c) Always test yourself
Practice your past papers too. This will provide you with mindset to face exams and take away that exam anxiety. Sometimes a good gauge is to experience the exam first e.g., Sign up for CSEC in January or if capable attempt an exam during your form 4 year.

(d) Get a study partner
Get a good, focused and committed group of friends to study with. The support system of people who wish to achieve that same success can be ideal to assist you if ever you are lost or tired.
(e) Plan
You should always have a plan when you set out to study. It should incorporate the following: your goals, duration of study and dates, assessments, breaks, location and ideal environment.

Study success here you come!
