Firstly you will need to study your child and their learning style. Some of these questions may help.

Do they need ask you questions or bounce ideas off you?

Do they get annoyed or distressed by noises or movement around them?

Do they choose a chair, desk or a table?

Do they tend towards the couch or bean bag?

Do they like music or TV noise in the background?

How much supervision do they need?

These questions, though quite simple will help you work out the best place and set up for your child’s ideal workplace. You may even come to realise that they need a couple of different ‘venues’ for the different tasks that they will have.

If your child needs supervision of prefers to interact then a station at the breakfast bar, kitchen table or coffee table may be ideal. If they need to eradicate visual or auditory distractions, then the office, bedroom, ‘booth’ (cardboard or corrugated plastic tucked around the desk to create a wall) and a set of earmuffs in the lounge may work better.

Be sure to check back in few days to get some ideas of furniture and set up. Or just give me a call or email! This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
