The Learning Habit: A Groundbreaking Approach to Homework and Parenting that Helps Our Children Succeed in School and Life

A groundbreaking approach to building learning habits for life, based on a major new study revealing what works â€“ and what doesnâ€™t

Life is different for kids today. Between standardized testing, the Common Core Curriculum, copious homework assignments, and seemingly endless amounts of â€œscreen time,â€ itâ€™s hard for kids â€“ and parents â€“ to know whatâ€™s most essential. How can parents help their kids succeed â€“ not just do well â€œon the testâ€ -- but develop the learning habits theyâ€™ll need to thrive throughout their lives?

This important and parent-friendly book presents new solutions based on the largest study of family routines ever conducted. The Learning Habit offers a blueprint for navigating the maze of homework, media use, and the everyday stress that families with school-age children face; turning those â€œstress timesâ€ into opportunities to develop the eight critical skills kids will need to succeed in college and in the highly competitive job market of tomorrow â€“ skills including concentration and focus, time management, decision-making, goal-setting, and self-reliance. Along with hands-on advice and compelling real-life case studies, the book includes 21 fun family challenges for parents and kids, bringing together the latest research with simple everyday solutions to help kids thrive, academically and beyond.
