Happy Back to School week! Anyone else grieving the end of summer like me? It definitely went by too fast. While we still have warm nights and weekends ahead of us, we can find joy in the fresh starts that come with a new school year!

Today’s tip is about the homework space. There is a lot of great advice out there about creating a well-lit, well-organized space for your student to do their homework, but I would like to add that you pay attention to their body position. If in a chair, their feet and back should be supported. Sitting on a bench or bar stool is not ideal.

Another great option is laying on their belly on the floor. It helps regulate the nervous system and provides stability for writing tasks. Every child has unique needs, though. Pay attention to how often your child shifts their posture during homework time to see if their set-up is working.
