ABSTRACT

This chapter argues that many parents are interested in how their children are learning in school, and in helping their children learn at home. It also argues that many teachers may be looking for tips that they can pass along to the parents of their students. The chapter provides concrete tips for ways that parents can help facilitate effective learning at home. People's children will learn more if their practice with the material they are encountering at school is spaced out over time. Another way to think about this is that spacing out studying is more efficient. When People's children cram, they may be wasting their time doing something that is not going to help their learning in the long run. Even the best learning strategies become less effective when children are not getting enough sleep. The rule of thumb, at least in the US, is that children should be doing roughly ten minutes of homework per night per grade.
