MAKE A TO-DO LIST FOR YOUR CHILD

Having a lot of chores and homework assignments
can be overwhelming for children.
You can help your child focus on getting things done by
making a to-do list or general timetable which should contain,
when the child sleeps, wakes, eat, prepare for school, house chores,
study and other things.
It should include week days and weekend activities.

Though most students don’t like timetable for their day to day life,
so tell your child that it is a to-do list of his daily activities.

You must always review the to-do list with your child on a
daily basis if you really want your child to follow the to-do list regularly,
this will make you become the accountability partner of your child and
it will make your child to strictly follow the to-do list because he/she is accountable to you.

I know the question on your mind now is that,
“What will happen if the child is not following the to-do list strictly?”

You need to have an agreement with your child on what
he stands to lose if he did not follow the to-do list. For me,
I told me son that any time he misses his to do list,
he would lose a day of going to the Cinema for that month,
he was so reluctant to agree, then I ask him that
“Are you saying you want to be missing your to-do list?”
he said no and eventually agreed.
As my son continue to follow his to-do list,
I notice how he is now so good at time management,
He is so orderly, organized and focus always.

That is exactly what could happen to your child if you
follow the same principle.

P.S: Time management is important for students to get high marks.
Student’s success in studies depends much on managing time efficiently.
The habits and morals they acquire during schools time and home
will stick with them throughout the future.
