School Success Kit and How to Help Your Child Get Motivated (Child Mind Institute) Available in Spanish

Description:

School Success Kit for Kids With Executive Functioning Issues - For kids with executive functioning issues, challenges with school can range from staying on top of homework to finding their shoes in the morning. This article provides some tools to help kids who struggle to stay organized and focused.

How to Help Your Child Get Motivated in School - Start by showing kids that you care about their schoolwork. Check in with them about how classes are going. Let them know that you’re there if they need homework help. Ask what they’re learning and what they like (and don’t like) about the assignments. With older kids, be sure to give them space, too. If they sense that you’re pressuring them, they might end up feeling resentful and less motivated.
