We're not going to talk about the fact that a child needs a gadget, mobile or home internet, and might need help installing programs, setting up sound, or logging into apps. You've probably already gone through all that.
Let's talk about what will help your child endure 5-6 hours of home schooling.
1. Organize their workspace
When the desk is cluttered with textbooks, notebooks, and stationery, it's hard to concentrate and quickly get into learning. There's a reason they say: "Order on the desk means order in the head." And listening to the teacher while lying on the couch is simply unacceptable. The body is in a relaxed position, and the brain is not настроен to absorb new knowledge. Therefore, tell your child how important a "working posture" is, and helpers from Kite will help organize the desk: organizers and suitcase sets.
In three suitcases of different sizes, you can store anything: from stationery to toys or materials for craft lessons.
Organizers are faithful guardians of order:
- Pens and pencils can be conveniently stored in a square cup holder.
- Albums, drawings, applications, and A4 printouts can be stacked in a vertical tray.
- A tray for storing stationery will collect sticky notes and erasers.
- And a box with pull-out drawers will hold other small items.
If this is not enough, you can always add a cup stand for pens and markers with your child's favorite characters.
2. Motivate them. With quality stationery and more
Admit it, if a pen scratches the paper, smudges, and skips, and a pencil leaves an indistinct mark, even an A-student won't want to write notes or do homework. Opening a school notebook is more pleasant when it has favorite characters on the cover. Writing with a pen is more pleasant when it evokes positive emotions, like the emotional Kite pens. Choose our quality stationery, and it won't let you down at a crucial moment.
Keep track of your child's progress, focus on what they have already achieved, not on what they are struggling with, and add humor. "You've already solved three problems, well done, only two left! Harry Potter probably had a hard time at Hogwarts too. Look at the notebook cover, he's wrinkling his forehead, just like you." Agreed, it sounds better than: "You've been fussing for so long and only solved three examples?! How can you think about this simple task for so long! Don't slouch and don't wrinkle your forehead!"
Arrange a visual demonstration of success. For example, attach Kite sticky notes with good grades to a cork board.
3. Haven't forgotten about breaks?
Adhering to a daily routine will help reduce anxiety and adapt to distance learning. Don't forget about breaks. Be sure to include them in the schedule after each lesson. The daily schedule should be visible. And by the way, include not only lessons and breaks but also fruit snacks. A Kite lunchbox will be suitable for a fruit snack. You can put peeled fruits in it, and to prevent them from drying out or turning brown, close the lid. And one more thing. Place a large glass or a Kite water bottle next to the computer (the container should be empty by the end of the day!) Then your child won't get dehydrated.
And it will turn out that learning from home is not so difficult or unusual. We wish you health and success! Your Kite.
