If you want your children to be able to learn as effectively as possible and perform well at a private elementary school, you need to make sure that the learning environment you setup is optimal for learning. Doing so will make it easier for your child to focus and learn. 

Buy the Right Furniture

If your child does not have furniture that is the right size, he or she might have a more difficult time focusing. If your child has had a growth spurt, he or she might need a bigger desk to feel comfortable. Smaller students need chairs that allow their feet to reach the floor. 

Eliminate Visual Distractions

When you have a child who is easily distracted, you will want to get rid of as many visual distractions as possible. Try to find an area of your home that doesn't have a television, and don't allow your child to have his or her mobile device with him or her while studying. Lots of posters and bulletin boards might actually be detrimental to your child's learning experience. You might even want to set up a thinking corner for when your child is engaged in a particularly taxing activity. 

Find a Quiet Place to Study

Make sure your child has a quiet place to study. Your child might even be distracted by common sounds, such as an air conditioner or a buzzing sound from a light. One solution is for your child to wear noise-canceling headphones so he or she can tune out even the most distracting sounds. 

Provide the Right Tools

Understand the common struggles your child has, and offer tools that help him or her overcome them. For example, if your child is often typing the wrong keys, consider getting a keyboard with oversized keys so this doesn't happen. If your child is left-handed, he or she might need scissors that are meant for left-handed students and left-handed protractors. 

Sometimes, the best asset when helping your child stay focused on his or her private school homework is you. By stepping in and encouraging your child, you can help him or her get back on task and focus. You should also step in and find out how your child is progressing. Ask questions and try to understand what your child needs to help him or her succeed at his or her studies. You can also set reasonable periods in which your child needs to focus to condition his or her brain.
