Where do your children do their homework?

[briggsy's girl]

We have set up a study which dd will be able to use. Or the dining table. Whichever she chooses. I guess it will depend on the type of homework and how muc ph supervision/assistance she wants/needs at the time. Our study is set up with a couch so she can sit back and read without the distraction of the tv (which is visible from the dining table). I will encourage her to withdraw from the distraction of other people and tv as much as she can while doing homework, but will make sure there is music in there so it doesn't feel like she is being sent to the study as a sort of punishment kwim? Our study has a corner desk with large corner area too, so there is room to have all three of us working there (cozy though) or pc plus laptop/space for books/writing etc.

Growing up we never had massive bedrooms but we did have a desk in my bedroom. It was great to have a space that was "mine". Mum did family day care so I liked escaping to do my whine work from mid primary school. I was able to use the typewriter up there in the pre pc days, but once we got a pc, that part of my homework had to be done in the lounge.

ETA when I got older I used to sit on the floor in front of the couch and take over the large coffee table and spread stuff everywhere, or sit on my bed with stuff all over the place. Depended on what I was studying. I didn't have a pc of my own til I went to Uni so if it was a subject I needed to research online I'd take over the lounge, otherwise my own room
