In a dedicated office or homework space in your home.
At a desk in your student's bedroom to keep things quiet.
At the dining room or kitchen table where you can keep an eye on how things are going.
At a homework station incorporated into the family room or another space.
Sprawled on the couch or family room rug.
 
Emily Hurley I always did mine sprawled on the floor in the family room, but I'm a stickler for getting homework done at the kitchen table now.

Charmean Neithart Interiors, LLC. I did a round table in this teens bedroom because it was like the tables in her school library, which she liked.


When I was a kid I did homework on a TV tray in my room. Ahhhh....the 70's!

daffodilmama My daughter has a choice of places, but she mostly ends up on the "comfy couch" and the side table next to it.

momof5x I am into writing and have to have a well equipped writing desk, and a computer area, each small area has a different layout. I picked the one close to the bed but I also like the kitchen one. I have both, I have a small writing area in kitchen an done in my room where it is quieter.Since I am moving soon I am looking at specific furniture with curved legs for writing table and solid wood console table for computer area. Still have yet to make a decision but I do like pic 2 for the bulletin board and I like the spacious table in kitchen.

Wannemacher Designs I work out of my home and get board being in the same spot. I change my "desk" almost every week! Right now it's the dining table, but my dogs do not approve so I'm guessing it's the sofa next:)

Paradise Restored Landscaping & Exterior Design My grand-kids do their homework in my office/guest room - away from the throng - however, many times they choose the living room rug or the kitchen/dining counter -

periwinkle04 When your kids are at near you, there's just waaaay too much tendency to "help" them. Let them learn resourcefulness by doing it in their own rooms, and only coming to you for help when they really, really can't figure it out for themselves. Kids learn confidence in their own abilities when they solve problems themselves. I've seen so many friends become helicopter parents and their kids become helpless, and it starts by having them close by doing homework.

Dytecture Dining or Breakfast Table close to the kitchen where the 'action' is, and also allows for more family interaction.

katerush We used the dining room and just kept homework suff there. We eat at a table in the kitchen, so this was a way to actually use the dining room.
