In simple words, environment design is organizing your nearby surroundings in a way that you are tricked into doing what you should do, and forget about things you shouldn’t. It’s a two-step process where good habits have to be ‘in your face,’ easy to do, and fun, while the bad habits are extremely hard to access, unrewarding and unsatisfying. For the learning environment, visual cues that serve as reminders to study or perform school-related tasks should be incorporated into the environment designs, while limiting or removing distractions that may disrupt online school hours.
The digital age has no dearth of distractions. For kids in online schools, access to the internet also means exposure to social media, Netflix, and other distractions. But parents can block all these distractions and curate a student-friendly screen experience. A practical example of this approach: Go into your child’s device and open Screen Time Settings. There, you can set a certain downtime, which allows you to block all other applications except ones you approve, to ensure the child pays all attention to online school. Similarly, you can set daily limits for app categories as well as communication limits during screen time.
Here’s why: Our brain loves association. It’s making connections and triggers to different cues without your permission, all the time. Think of how if you went to the washroom right now and sat on the toilet seat, you would end up peeing after a few minutes even if you hadn’t intended to. That’s because to your mind, sitting on the toilet seat equals urination. Similarly, if you reserve a certain space in your home for your child to use only when they are in an online school, and nothing else, his/her brain will start associating that table or chair, or area of the house, with studying.
