(NC)-From shopping for back-to-school supplies, to keeping track of soccer practice and homework assignments, September can be a stressful time for parents and kids. Whether your child is a budding photographer, writer or scientist, reduce stress by setting up a homework station that works for everyone.
A Good Space
Set up a small homework station in the living room or kitchen so it's easy to help and watch how assignments are progressing. Consider putting up a screen or curtain as a divider to minimize distraction.
Motivation Decoration
Make the space inviting and ask kids to help decorate. Paint the space a favourite colour and equip it with items that get the creative juices flowing, like coloured markers and bright paper.
Necessary Gadgets
There are some must-haves in every office space, like a clock, a computer, and stationary. If children will be using the Internet, ensure the parental guidance settings are turned on. To save space and money, use an affordable all-in-one printer that gives you a better bang for your buck, like the new Kodak ESP 5 All-in-One. With Kodak's AiO printers, you don't have sticker shock when it's time to buy replacement ink cartridges. Black ink is less than $10, and it's only $15 for all the colors you need to produce crisp, sharp documents and Kodak lab-quality photos that last a lifetime. The average household will save more than
$150 a year on ink costs with a Kodak All-in-One Printer."
