[quote=Anonymous]My recommendations for new Basis families include serious effort toward structure in the home to accommodate/support the workload. A dedicated homework space, a dedicated time, frequent checking in by parents, providing tutors (via Basis peer tutors or external to school), enforcing healthy bedtimes (my senior Basis student mentioned how many classmates stay up very late or rise very early to complete work), figuring out coping mechanisms for when they will be overloaded and stressed, encouraging group study or gatherings. Practice those good habits (time allotted for workload, good self-care) now to arm yourselves for the many time you will certainly need them. And, be proud of the effort and growth each student will exhibit and best of luck to each family in supporting these kids! We adults know that growth is uncomfortable, challenging and a process. It is helpful to brace yourself to witness growth in your child. [/quote]
