If there's one thing I'm dreading about school being back in session again, it's homework. I do not relish the drama of trying to coax and coerce my son to sit and down and just get it done already!
I've vowed up and down that we will NOT have battles like we did last year, but I know we will if I don't make some changes. One of those changes is establishing a designated homework space. This means no just plopping down wherever he feels like, but creating a space for the sole purpose of homework that will suddenly make homework more enticing than video games or playing outside with his friends. Okay, I'm not delusional, but I'm hoping it will at least make things a little better. Here are some tips for setting up a homework station for your kid.
Do your children have designated spaces for homework? What tips would add?

Great tips, my youngest son is starting Kindergarten in the fall and we have a desk and chair, but we still need baskets and stuff to help him stay organized.
thanks school don't start here until Aug. 29th but she does her homework on her desk
No they don't we will be using the table.
My son has a desk in my office to do his school work but mostly he does it at the kitchen island.
Since we never eat at our kitchen table, that is the homework area. She never leaves my side, so she can be with me while I cook. This year there will be no tv on, made that mistake last year.
I make them do their homework at the kitchen counter
we have limited space where we live right now so a homework area is bascially the kitchen counter. we do try to get it done when they get home. we try to have the tv off and a snack ready.
