How Many Minutes of Homework should your Child have?

 

Homework is seen as an important tool in the process of learning. It reiterates the lessons of the day and uses repetition to help you remember new information.

However, as an adult, you know when you’ve had enough and can put your pen down. Children don’t necessarily have that luxury, they’re given homework and it’s expected to be completed.

But, how do you know how much homework they should really be doing?

In fact, the general rule is quite simple, 10 minutes per night for the first year in school and 10 minutes extra for every year thereafter. By the time you’ve spent five years studying you should be doing 50 minutes per night.

Under an hour is enough to ensure concentration levels remain high and that there is a noticeable benefit to completing the homework.

In addition, it’s a good idea not to give weekend homework, this is supposed to be time for a child to rest and recover, not focus on more work. 

 

The Importance Of Starting Young

It may seem peculiar for very young children to have homework. But, if you check with some of the best early learning centers you’ll find that it is normal. The reason is not to improve grades or pressure the child. 

Instead, it simply sets up homework as being the norm, preparing children for the years of study that are to come.

Of course, this homework time can be used to reinforce any subjects or areas that a child is struggling with. But, the main aim is building a habit.

For this reason, it doesn’t matter if a pre-school child does just 5 minutes of homework, the principle is still established.

 

The Best Homework

If you want children to learn at school and at home the work needs to be interesting and fun. In fact, the same is true of adults. 

It’s important to remember that children only have a few hours after school to complete homework and see friends. If the homework takes up all this time they will become resentful and stop doing it, or at least stop doing it properly.

That means setting homework that essential repeats what you’ve done that day, and does it in a fun, simple way. 

This will actually improve the chances of the child absorbing the information and avoid them from becoming stressed.

 

Monitoring Homework

Your child may not want you to monitor their homework but you can monitor their grades. If they start to slip it is likely that they are finding the homework too difficult and perhaps stressing or becoming tired.

This is a good time for you to step in and assess whether they are doing too much or simply need a little more help. 

What is important for teachers and parents to recognize is that homework is a useful tool but that it should never be done just for the sake of it. Homework should be completed to help a pupil understand a topic if they already understand there is no harm in not giving out homework.

 

How To Clean Common Toddler Messes

Living with toddlers can be a real challenge. They’re into everything and can cause some real chaos. Even if you watch them closely, they can manage to get into mischief and cause some real damage to your home or furniture. Here’s what to do for these classic toddler disasters to help you clean

Image – free for commercial use

 

They’ve Drawn On The Walls

There are a few ways to get pen ink off the walls if your toddler has turned to graffiti art. Spray the ink stains with a hairspray that contains alcohol, and then wipe gently with a white cloth. Use a clean section of cloth each time you wipe so you don’t smudge the stain. You could also try putting white toothpaste over the marks. Leave for ten minutes, then wipe off with a clean white cloth. For difficult inks, like ballpoint pen, you could try rubbing alcohol. 

 

They’ve Tipped Paint On The Rug

If crafts time has taken a messy turn and ended up with paint tipped on your favorite rug, don’t panic. If the paint is still wet, blot it with a paper towel. Don’t scrub, or you’ll push the paint further into the rug. If the paint is set in, bring in a company like Devine Rug Cleaning who will be able to advise you on what to use to lift the stain and rent out the proper equipment to do so. 

 

They’ve Mashed Play Dough Into The Carpet

Toddlers love play dough, but unfortunately they also have very short attention spans. A child happily playing with play dough one minute can have decided to drop it and mash it into the carpet. Vacuum up as much as of the dough as you can before it dries. 

 

Dampen a cloth with hot water, and place the cloth over the play dough. Leave the cloth to sit for about an hour, to soften the remaining dough. Next, when the play dough is dry, with a stiff brush, brush the carpet to remove the small pieces of dough. Just be careful not to brush out any pieces of carpet. If there’s still some left, you can use more play dough to stick to the dough stuck in the carpet and lift it out. 

 

They’ve Covered Everything In Nappy Cream

You left the room for two minutes after a nappy change and came back in to find the baby, the walls, the furniture and the carpet are now covered in nappy cream. The best thing to wash everything (including the toddler) is dish washing detergent. The detergent is designed to strip oils, so will lift the cream without leaving oily marks behind. 

 

If the carpet is badly stained, you can remove the stains with a steam clean, which you can do yourself with a hot iron. 

 

They’ve Got Gum In Their Hair

They’ve got gum stuck in their hair, or the hair of a sibling. Do not squish the gum more into the hair. Instead, run an ice cube over it to freeze it, then you can try to brush out the gum.

Protecting Your Garden From Heavy Rain

Heavy rain can cause havoc on your garden. And there are a few months a year when the downpour can be relentless. Smaller plants can take some severe damage when the big raindrops start hammering down, and the more delicate plants can be totally wiped out. You can take preemptive action to protect your garden from rainstorms and heavy rain damage.

Coverage

If you have enough warning of a rainstorm, you can head out and begin to cover your plants with a range of overturned pots, buckets, bowls and even overturned wheelbarrows will give good coverage. It is essential that you weigh down the pots and so on because if they get blown over – they can cause more damage. You can also opt to have a plastic sheet and secure the edges with blocks, bricks or rocks to stop it from blowing away. 

Anchors

If you have shrubs, trees or taller fruit and vegetable plants the consider stakes and clips to help prevent the stalks from being bent too far and snapping. You ideally want to have your stakes around 20 inches into the ground. This will mean they are very sturdy. Use removable clips to attach the stakes to the trunk of the plant so that you are maximizing the effectiveness of it. For thicker trunks and thicker stakes, gardener’s twine works very well. 

Guttering

If your guttering is filled with leaves and debris then when the raid hits, it will overflow, cascading a lot of water in concentrated streams into specific areas. This can cause problems for your garden and the walls too. If you have gutter guards installed when the weather is good, you won’t have to consider any of the overflow impacts. 

Native Plants

Flowers, trees and shrubs that are native to the area are going to be able to cope with the weather much easier than other plants. So it is worth researching what is native to the area, and combining that with some of the additions you are like. 

Wrapping

For climbing plants, you might struggle to cover them as easily and ground-dwelling plants. You can use burlap to wrap the climbers against their poles and trellis. Heavy twine will keep this in place until you want to move it again. For any new trees wrapping the trunk is a good idea.  As well as a frame which is taller than the tree by around a foot. 

Row Covers

If you are in the middle of cultivating rows of plants and smaller flower bed, then you can use row cover or frost blanket to protect them from the weight of the rain and the wind too. You will need to leave space either side of the material to make sure you can weight it down in preparation for bad weather. 

Roots

Water damage can be particularly bad for the roots of a plant, so as a simple safety measure to ensure you have a decent layer of mulch down. Just keep the mulch at least three inches from the foliage. 

Safe Tablet Use with PBS

Kids love playing with tablets and cell phones, anything with an interactive screen really.

My kids are no exception and beg for screen time…but how can I know what they are accessing is safe?

PBS, a trusted brand to me and many others, has done the dirty work and created a table that is kid safe and super fun to use.

The Playtime Pad DVD Combo is our new favorite tablet. This tablet comes preloaded with over 23 educational games and 120 video clips, songs, and music videos that all teach reading, math, and more. It is a 7 inch Android tablet that is locked down with parental controls, which allow you to customize your child experience

With 2 kids this tablet is amazing because it has sign in features for both kids. They just touch their Icon image and their experience begins.

Being an Android tablet it does have Google Play, allowing you to download more apps if you so choose.

On the main screen you will find the PBS Video app, PBS Games app, Sing-A-Long, Paint Box (kids can create fun images with color tools and stickers), Wallpaper, DVD Player and Gallery.

This tablet is such a joy with the built in DVD player. This way when you are driving, flying in a plane or at a location without wi-fi you can simply watch a DVD instead of using apps that require internet connection (some apps on the tablet no not require internet, other’s will). This is DVD player, not a Blue-ray player, so be sure to use the DVD formatted disks.

The Playtime Pad comes with a complimentary DVD of PBS Word of The Week – a fun way to expand vocabulary.

So, if you’re trying to make a long-term improvement to your wellbeing, then it’s time to develop a healthy routine.

 

Get into a healthy and regular sleeping pattern.

The first step to developing healthy habits is to get into the habit of sleeping properly. Feeling tired during the week and catching up on sleep at the weekend will not benefit your physical health or your mental health. You need to get into a healthy and regular sleeping pattern. Rather than compensating for a sleep-deprived night by oversleeping the following day, you should try to go to bed and wake up at the same time whether it’s a weekday or a weekend. Your body relies on habits to function properly. This definitely applies to sleep; you need a balanced circadian rhythm (this is the internal process involved with your sleeping cycle).

 

Of course, a regular sleeping pattern isn’t necessarily a healthy sleeping pattern. Some people go to bed and wake up at the same time every day but deny their bodies the amount of rest they truly need. That morning cup of coffee is no substitute for a good night’s sleep. Neither is a refreshing shower, as nice as it might feel. A good night’s sleep replenishes your energy, but it also keeps your immune system strong, your metabolism working quickly, and it even keeps both your heart and your mind healthy. Caffeine cannot keep you healthy in the same way. So, get 8 hours of sleep every night if you want to feel physically and emotionally better.

If you find yourself struggling to relax before bed you’re not alone, around 68% of Americans struggle to get to sleep at night. Choosing natural medications such as Delta-8 can help to relax your body and mind and put you in a better place to get a good night’s sleep as well as improving your overall sleep quality too. Practicing gratitude, meditation and yoga can also invoke calming feelings to help you prepare for a good night’s sleep.

Don’t shy away from your thoughts and emotions.

The importance of a good night’s sleep for your mental health was briefly mentioned in the first point, but improving your physical health is only one aspect of improving your emotional health. If you want to improve your mental wellbeing, you need to make direct improvements to the way in which you perceive yourself and the world around you. Rather than shying away from your thoughts and emotions, you need to listen to yourself. Talking to friends and family members can help you to open up and accept your feelings. You might also want to talk to a therapist if feelings of stress, anxiety, or even depression are becoming a little too overwhelming. You should do some research if you’re wondering: “is there counseling near me?” You could get professional help and start working through your mental health problems.

 

Think about the food you include in your meals.

If you want to get into the habit of looking after yourself, you should think about the food you include in your meals. It’s easy to pick up ready meals, takeaways, or simply processed food items in grocery stores. However, even when you read the ingredients lists on such items, you might find yourself wondering what you’re actually eating. Artificial ingredients have long and confusing names. Instead, you should cook your own meals. That way, you’ll know exactly what you’re including in each dish. Focus on including plenty of natural ingredients. Fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes are whole foods that will give you the nutrients and vitamins you need for a healthy diet.
