Tech-Oriented Strategies to Keep Your Child’s Homework Stress-Free

For many parents, it’s an ongoing battle to get their kids to complete homework assignments on a daily basis. Whether it is insufficient tools to complete their work, difficulty understanding the material, or lack of focus, modern technology provides a number of tools and strategies to get homework done in no time. Smart Kidzs presents some of the best options for enhancing your child’s homework experience.

Best Tools for the Job

If your child is resistant to doing homework, first consider the available equipment. Just like a day job, using faulty or outdated equipment can be frustrating, which results in general disgruntlement and an unwillingness to work. Fortunately, there are ample devices to help streamline your child’s homework. Here are a couple to consider:

Keep Your Child's Homework Stress-FreeApple iPad 10.2

The newly released Apple iPad 10.2 is a popular choice for students of all ages. With a 10.2-inch touchscreen, smart keyboard, and Apple pencil application, the iPad 10.2 makes homework easy and fun. In addition, this device is ultra powerful, has ample memory, and is super speedy, so your child will be able to access homework and study resources quickly and easily. You may want to add a layer of protection to your iPad by picking up an iPad case, which you can find in a variety of styles and colors.

Lenovo Tab 4 10

If the Apple iPad is a little outside your price range, consider the Lenovo Tab 4 10, for a high-quality tablet at a modest price. The Lenovo Tab employs an Android operating system and is a highly durable and portable option that’s perfect for children to transport between locations. This tablet offers excellent battery life and access to all Android apps, and the operating system includes the virtual Google keyboard.

Organized and Appealing

Just as Oxford Learning Center points out, children can have difficulty concentrating , especially when they find the task mundane or uninteresting. The key to making homework more palatable is to find ways to engage your child’s interest while keeping them from being overwhelmed. Thanks to modern technology, there are tools available to plan study time, and help students finish their homework efficiently. We love these two:

myHomework Student Planner

The myHomework Student Planner App is a great option to help your child organize their study time. The app offers calendar and reminder tools to keep your student organized, and it syncs across all devices. With these organizational tools at their disposal, children can tackle one task at a time, without feeling overwhelmed by a mountain of homework. Checking items off their to-do list lends children a sense of accomplishment, and keeps them engaged.

Breathe, Think, Do!

For younger children who tend to grow frustrated or overwhelmed,Breathe, Think, Do! from Sesame Street is a great tool to restore their equilibrium and focus on one thing at a time. The app offers five different scenarios to help children to pause and think when they are feeling particularly stressed. This is nice for kids who are just learning how to do homework.

No Distractions

Helping your child work without distractions will go a long way toward productive homework time. Mommy Bites explains that children are naturally curious, they can be easily distracted by activities or loud sounds around them. What’s more, in the digital age, phones are constantly present. There are a number of great apps on the market to help your child stay focused on the task at hand, and these two are our favorites:

Forest: Stay Focused 

The Forest: Stay Focused App  helps the user by planting trees which prevent them from using apps on their phone. To begin, the user sets a timer, and the app plants a virtual tree. If the phone is used, the tree dies and another must be planted. It is an excellent way to keep easily distracted children on task without using an app that risks distracting them more.

Bear Focus Timer

If you need a focus app for younger students, try the Bear Focus Timer. This app features Tom the friendly bear, who bases journeys and activities around a pre-set timer. An angry bear face appears if the user attempts to use the phone while they should be completing a task.

When kids and homework are clashing, it’s time to take action. Ensure you have the right equipment and apps to put your strategies into motion. With these tools at your fingertips, homework has never been easier, and parents can painlessly end the homework battle before it starts!
