Coping with distractions at home

As children enter their teens, new horizons and experiences inevitably create distractions, and connected devices are the biggest channel for these to enter the home. A few handy tips:

  • Create a dedicated study area an internet-free zone (unless the session requires online research). Switch off or remove mobiles, TVs and gaming devices.
  • If that's impractical, consider downloading a social media lockout app or switching on aeroplane mode during study time to prevent interruptions.
  • Make sure friends and other family members know not to disturb homework time. You will accomplish more when you adhere to a timeframe and focus on the objective of your homework session.
