The part where you actually have to get up and start clearing away all the unnecessary items. Just the sight of clutter can easily drain the energy out of most people and the decision to clean up gets put off for another day.

You are probably looking for about 45 minutes of homework and study time. Write that into her plan for the week. If something is not scheduled, it is not likely to happen. The time does not have to be the same every day, but by doing this you can still have fun activities. This block of time should be a consistent part of each day, just as bathtime and bedtime have routines. 8 years old is not too early to learn about balancing time. Of course, you modeling good time management is a plus in teaching her. Mark:
