Keeping track of our children’s academic assignments is essential for their academic success and the development of good study habits. However, amidst daily responsibilities, staying on top of their tasks and providing the necessary support can be challenging. In this article, we will share practical tips to help you effectively monitor your children’s academic progress.

  • Supervise academic tools: Regularly check the digital platforms used by the school (e.g., ClassDojo, Google Classroom), as well as books, notebooks, and projects to stay informed about their assignments.
  • Set up a designated workspace: Choose a specific area at home where your children can do their homework without distractions.
  • Establish a consistent schedule: Create a routine for completing assignments to promote responsibility and discipline.
  • Seek help when needed: If assisting your children with their homework becomes challenging or stressful, consider external support such as homework clubs or tutoring.
  • Reinforce effort with praise: Acknowledge and appreciate your children’s hard work, regardless of the outcome.
  • Maintain open communication with teachers: Stay attentive to their recommendations and feedback regarding your child’s academic performance.
  • Be actively involved in school life: Attend parent-teacher meetings to stay informed and strengthen the relationship between home and school.
