How Students Can Stay Motivated in a Work From Home Culture

Share & spread the love

There are many jobs and schools that have had to occur at home during the COVID pandemic. This is something that may have taken some getting used to, in certain cases, but it can be positive overall for students. If you are working from home and your child is going to school at home or online, here are a few ways that this can benefit them.

Boundaries Can Be Set

When everyone is at home working and taking part in school, boundaries must be put in place for every family member to follow. This can not only help you get work done when you need to get it done, but it will also let your kids know when they should be doing their schoolwork and when they are allowed to engage in other activities. Knowing what is expected of them may help a kid better understand what their limits are. 

There’s More Time For Other Things

When a child has to go to school all day, this takes up many hours. Learning from home may not take up that much time, so it can be beneficial to get work done in the morning, in order to do fun stuff later on in the day. This may also help a child stay motivated, even if this is difficult for them.

If you want your kids to stay motivated so they are able to do their assignments without procrastinating or wasting time, you can offer them rewards when they do a good job. Perhaps you give them an extra 30 minutes of screen time after they complete assignments or allow them to play outside when they finish a big project. Together, you can determine what will work best for your student.

You Are There to Help

Your children may also benefit from you being there. Not only could this help make them feel more comfortable as they get through their work, but it can also offer an opportunity to spend quality time with them. This might not have been possible as much when you were working away from the house, and they were at school all day.

Consider helping your kids understand their lessons when you can and talk to them about their day as well. This could boost their confidence and it may allow you to feel better too.

Less Stress is Possible

It can be stressful to have to get up in the morning and rush out the door to school. When a child doesn’t have to do this, they are able to take their time waking up, eat a healthy breakfast and get to work on their studies without feeling hurried. This may allow kids to perform better in their classes and lead to less stress overall, since they likely feel more comfortable at their house than they do at school.

Conclusion

There are a few major ways that students can benefit from the work from home culture that is present during the COVID pandemic. It may lead them to have less stress, be able to have time to get things accomplished, and they will know that you are there to support them. This can bring your family closer together and help your students get their work accomplished. Be sure to take the time to figure out the ins and outs of a school day and decide what rules need to be put in place as a family, so you are all able to get everything done each day.
