⏰Make time your friend, not your rush. A lot of people have a difficult time, even adults, with time management. So we have some simple tips for kids that you can help entertain. So the first is to use a visual schedule or planner. So kids are very visual, they go off of cues. So charts with tasks helps with school work and all that good stuff.

Second is break tasks into small steps. So rather than give them a large task that can feel overwhelming, you want to make sure to kind of break it up.

You do want to set some clear priorities. For example, school work before video games.

And you want to use timers. So maybe set it for 20 minutes at a time with a nice fun break afterwards. Absolutely.

You want to prepare – teach your children to prepare the night before. I know that my household runs a lot smoother when our clothes are laid out the night before, our water bottles are already prepped.

You also want to avoid too much multitasking. Multitasking is a good skill to have, but you want it to be appropriate. It’s okay to break some of that stuff down to focus and concentrate on one thing at a time.

Use your clocks, use your timers to help raise time awareness. Sometimes if we don’t have a clock or a timer, time really does get away with us. It sure does.
