With most schools back in session after the holiday break, now is a good time to rethink your child's homework space. While you are shopping for supplies and getting kids back into learning mode for the second half of the school year, check out these tips on homework. You'll find ideas for preparing your child's workspace as well as some great links for homework help sites on the web in Homework Helps.

Helping your child create a new work space or reorganize her homework space can help you both sail through the rest of the year more smoothly. Continuing to work on study skills and avoiding bad study habits like cramming can help your child academically and prepare him for more responsibility as he grows. Older students may benefit from forming their own study groups.
