In order to make your kid’s homework a bit more fun, you can make the work area as comfortable as possible.
You should pay attention to several things - proper seating, good lighting and school supplies storage.
Proper seating
To avoid problems with posture, choose furniture that is appropriate to the child's height. Corner of the table should rest against the solar plexus at 5 cm above the elbow, back straight, knees bent at 90 degrees and feet flat on the floor. The child should sit deep in the chair. How is this achieved?
- Buy a desk and chair with adjustable height.
- Buy a chair with adjustable height and blocking tires, get the leg stand.
- Buy a chair with adjustable height and table top with wall. Change the height of countertops as your child grows.
You can also change a table and chair as your child grows. Back of the chair should be rigid. If your child will be comfortable recline in his chair at work, it will reduce the load on the spine.
Lighting
This is the second very important factor. The eyes of children are tired during the study, so the more daylight - the better. The ideal option would be to put the table near the window, or sideways to the window.
If the child is right-handed, light should fall on the left, and vice versa.
This rule should be guided while installing a desk lamp.
Storing
Make it easier to comply with the order on the table and take care of where textbooks, notebooks, pens, pencils, paper and other suppliers will be stored.
1. The closer a shelf of books to the table, the easier it is to put a book in place.
2. Keeping order in a closed locker is harder than order on a shelf.
3. If the shelves are located on the table, pit will be easier to put the books. Please note that the majority of primary school textbooks are tall and thin. A good alternative to the shelves of textbooks and notebooks will be folder attachments and holders.
4. A lot of things useful for space organization can be found among the goods for the office. Coasters and paper tray (it is convenient to use as a paper - color, plain, cardboard, and for notebooks), stands for pens and pencils.
5. If it is possible to place on the wall railings, table top can be released from the smallest details.
An alternative could be a mobile bedside table:
