How do you teach your children time management?
Time management is something that grown-ups already find difficult to do as grown-ups, what more if you are a child? How do you teach your child time management and do you think this is important to teach?
This is a great question. It’s definitely beneficial teaching your child time management. The issue you might run into is that for them it’s hard to fully comprehend what that means and how to be effective at it. So it might be a good idea to start with very small steps. Small goals that can be easily reached would be a great stepping stone. For instance, you could first create a simple list of things they will be doing that day (best to start on a weekend day or low key day), perhaps keeping it down to 3-5 things to do. From there, the both of you can sit down together (a great bonding opportunity) and create a decent size poster board with them as a fun family project where they can decorate it, color in the words, make designs, etc. If your child is old enough to tell time then you can have them mark off each thing that they finish (homework, reading time, scheduled video game time, movie, board game with the family, helping cook dinner, etc.). Naturally, you will probably have to assist them by reminding them of how much time they have left to do something, maybe doing a ten and five minute reminder (make it more of a fun challenge/contest than a chore). Each time they finish their project ON TIME or within five minutes of the scheduled time, then they should be praised and rewarded with hugs and kisses, extra family time, a treat, etc. Something that isn’t directly related to material gain. This can be a fun weekend project to work on each week. Keeping track of their improvements by comparing the poster boards/charts as time goes by (putting stickers on the projects that they do really well with) will motivate and make the experience more fun rather than something they "have to do". Remember to praise them for each accomplishment, no matter how small. If they do go over their time for one particular project then explain how that time that went over (10 min. for example) will be deducted from the next project. Soon they will begin to understand the concept more and more, but in the mean time it can be a fun and interesting project to do as a family. Have fun with it. If you’re looking for additional suggestions or advice feel free to call the Boys Town National Hotline at 1-800-448-3000 and speak to one of our counselors. We’re available 24/7. Good luck! And all the best…………Counselor JH
