hi, jus wondering if you let yr child sleeps early,will they hv enough time to do their homework?


mine goes to bed at 10am(may not sleep instantly) and up at 550am. less than 8 hours and he lacks sleep coz always have to drag him offf bed. he tells me he doesnt wan to go to sch.

i feel bad that he is not getting enuff sleeep though i am worst tha him coz i still have housework to do though i stick to min. i hv no maid, no car. juz the 2 of us handling 2 kids and a bb at nite.

i m worried his sch work will be neglected even though his student care centre can help him. really no time to coach him at nite as his sleep is more impt.

I wish to have CA1 which the sch used to have. Now the weightage of mid year, CA2 and SA2 are higher.

Jkids,

I am sure my boy can finish his work if he spends lesser time Dilly dally and on eating and be more efficient in packing his bag. Currently we hope he can finish school work before dinner, so after dinner he can do revision before bed. When remedial starts and cca too, he will reach home at 440pm 3times a week. How to get him to start on home work as soon as he reach home? He will need to rest and winddown. Hence, I will let him take a bite then start school work at 6pm. Dinner at 730pm smaller portion so he can finish faster and also lesser risk of indigestion. 8-9pm revision assuming homework done and 9pm prepare for bed.

I believe schools would have worked out a system to dole out manageable
amount of homework. Sleep should never be compromised. A tired child would be cranky and all sorts of negative behaviours spill over to all areas of life.

Train your child to manage his time wisely and get all schoolwork completed at his student care. At this age, he should be able to complete most of his work independently. This frees up your time to get other stuff organized.

Dd sleeps a lot in comparison to most kids, about 9 to 9 and a half hours of sleep daily. I guess I helps that school is within walking distance and her school is not so \"on\" , so homework has been manageable for the last 4 years. (She doesn't go for any tuition classes)

We have rec'd a circular from her FT that P5 will be much more demanding, will have to see how it goes.

That's the ideal situation. School within walking distance. So much time saved from commuting, so much money saved from bus fare.

Will it remain ideal for secondary schooj?
Should choice of school be largely dependent on distance given the number of subjects is twice much?
