[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During the pandemic, we made our kids do virtual school at the kitchen or dining room table. So, now they are 13 and 15 and just in the habit of working in those “public” locations. I think this helps them get done with HW more efficiently because there are fewer distractions, and because it’s (let’s face it) it’s not a lot of fun to be stuck at the kitchen table all night. The few times they have done HW in their bedrooms, it ends up taking all night. Also, our kids put their phones on the chargers in our kitchen at 9 (or whenever HW is done if it’s later). [b]But, they have both made the connection that if they don’t get close to 8 hours of sleep, they feel like garbage, so they are mostly happy to shut things down for the night.[/b][/quote] That’s so great, it takes a lot of self awareness and maturity for a kid to make that connection and then stick to it.
