    Homework takes self-discipline. Self-discipline builds character in kids. Use this Homework Checklist to get your child started.

    Homework Checklist:

    Make Sure Your Child Has:

    • A quiet place to work with good light.
    • A regular time for homework.
    • Basic supplies, such as paper, pencils, pens, markers, and ruler.
    • Aids to good organization, such as an assignment calendar, book bag, and folders.
    • No television, loud music, and lots of interruptions.

    When your child studies in a quiet place, it will help him focus. Focusing on his homework increases his self-discipline. Self-discipline builds character.
