Furnishing a workspace for your child ensures that they have a proper place to do their homework.It is a good idea to organize the workspace before the school year begins so that they have had time to get familiar with it,and you can know in advance if you need to make any changes.
The components of a child-friendly workspace are pretty similar to an adult-friendly workspace.They just need to be more appealing to your child and be the right scale.
You need a simple student desk as the center of the workspace.With less bulky computer equipment,it can be a small and narrow desk.Just make sure there is room to do homework on it.Unless your child is using a desktop,you may not even need a pull out keyboard shelf,but drawers are useful.A hutch on top or shelving in the base are also good features to have.
Height Adjustable Chairs
It is important to provide a comfortable,height adjustable chair.It can be very basic but being able to adjust for height is important.A swivel feature will make it easy for your child to reach for objects,and a comfortable seat is important for sitting for long periods of time.
Storage
Storage is an important component of any workplace, and it is no different for a child. There should be enough drawers, shelves, and containers for holding all the papers and tools. If the desk doesn't come with a hutch you can mount shelves on the wall to save floor space. Provide drawers and storage containers.
Lighting
Table lamps or task lamps are good to have even if you have overhead lighting. It is easier on the eyes as the light can be directed towards the task at hand instead of lighting up the entire room.
Dry Erase Boards
Dry erase boards are good to have because they keep projects and deadlines organized, especially for older kids.
