If the child prefers silence, a spare room or his room is a good choice. If he's not bothered by background noise or even stimulated, consider choosing a spot in the kitchen or near the office if you work from home. If there are more than one option, your child can try each one to see which one works best for them.
Eliminate distractions
Ask your child to turn off their phone and social media while studying. If he is in a common room, turn off the TV and any distracting elements that could disturb his concentration.
Make it comfortable – but not too comfortable
Choose a chair that your child can sit comfortably in for long periods of time, and make sure they have a table or other flat surface on which to place their books, laptop, and other learning aids. The bed is not recommended as a study space, as it causes your child to lose concentration, since this space is intended for sleep.

School subjects in an accessible place
Keep all of your child's supplies—such as pencils, paper, calculators—easily accessible in their study area. Encourage your child to keep his space organized and clutter-free. Perhaps you can incentivize him with small weekly rewards if he successfully keeps the area clean.
