If we really want our kids to hunker down and do their homework, they need a great home study space to keep them motivated. We’ve had a few weeks to get used to our kids learning from home, and have realized that it’s time for a few upgrades.
We’re sharing some of our favourite home desk and decor pieces with you, to help you enhance your child’s study area, to hopefully motivate them to get their schoolwork done while they’re working at home. We’re hoping that with a few minor updates, your child will remain engaged as they adjust to this new form of at-home learning.
