Help your child break down homework into sections so it is not so overwhelming.
Teacher Communication
When communicating with a teacher, keep the contact positive and professional. Share your child’s feelings, behaviors and/or your own observations politely. When teachers feel accused or blamed, they are more likely to focus on defending their actions instead of helping your child.
How Much Sleep Is Needed Each Night?
Elementary age children need 10 – 11 hours of sleep per night and teens need 8.5 – 9.25 hours to optimize learning. Lack of sleep can affect your child’s ability to process, learn and retrieve information.

Great Brainpower Foods
Some research suggests foods like blueberries, tomatoes, broccoli, kale, whole grains, walnuts, flaxseed and pumpkin seeds may enhance your child’s brainpower.
Praise Effort
Praising effort leads to a more confident child. Acknowledging their hard work motivates kids because effort is a factor they can control. Students cannot control the grades they receive, but they can control their preparation and determination to do their best. Applauding their effort reinforces the message that learning and improving is achievable when they try.
Backpack Safety
Overloaded school backpacks cause more than 20,000 back injuries per year. Make sure the backpack weighs no more than 10-15% of the child’s total body weight when in use. Have wide padded shoulder straps and a hip strap to distribute weight. Make sure the backpack does not hang below the student’s hip line. Also keep the heaviest books closest to the back.
Solitary Intrapersonal Learners
Solitary (intrapersonal) learners prefer to work alone and use self-study. A solitary learner tends to be more private, introspective and independent. They like to work on problems by retreating to somewhere quiet and working through possible solutions on their own.
