Children grind love to procrastinate? Use these 6 methods to train TAs to become time management masters

After getting up, the child is used to procrastinating in bed, wearing a pair of pants and lying still for half a day, and then wearing a sock to stop, touch this and that.

When writing homework, I will pinch the eraser and button the desk, and half an hour has passed, and only half a word has been written in the book.

When I went out to play, I encountered something fun, and I played for hours, and ten cows could not be pulled back.

The child's various performances seem to be procrastinating, grinding, and disobedient, but the reasons behind them are actually because the child lacks the ability to manage time.

Only by letting children learn time management can children learn how to control their own lives and studies. So how to take children for time management? Here are a few ways to use it quickly.

Method 1: Learn to make a daily plan

Creating a daily schedule is an effective way to help children develop good time management habits. By creating a schedule, children can better understand the tasks they need to complete and take control of their own time.

For example, if a child often procrastinates on homework, and he has to put it off until the last minute, parents can help him make a daily study schedule.

You can list the daily study, recreation and rest time, write it down on a piece of paper, and cross it out when you complete one. In this way, children can clearly see the projects they need to complete that day, and will pay more attention to time management and increase their sense of urgency.

Of course, in addition to the daily schedule, you can also make a weekly schedule, winter and summer vacation schedule.

Method 2: Prioritize

Children are unclear about the importance of everything, and they will only prioritize the things that make them happy. So that those things that must be done, but are not happy, are delayed.

For example, after the child comes home from school, he starts watching TV and is unwilling to do homework first. After eating, I started building blocks again until it was time to take a bath and sleep, and the homework assigned by the teacher had not yet begun to be done.

This performance of the child is that he can't distinguish the priorities of things, doesn't know which thing is the most important, and chooses what he likes to do as he likes.

At this time, parents need to teach their children to prioritize everything and let their children prioritize the most important things. For example, after school, you can let your child take a little break and guide him to do his homework first. At the same time, he told him that only by finishing his homework first could he have more time to play, and he didn't have to worry about being urged by his parents or even scolded.

Helping children prioritize can help them better understand which tasks are most important and focus on the ones that matter most.

Method 3: Set a time limit

 The child watched cartoons and watched section after section, played games and played games after rounds, played with sand for hours and hours... No matter how you shout, you don't listen.

The reason for this is because you did not set a time limit for your child at the beginning, and did not let the child form a view of time.

When watching cartoons, you can tell him to watch a section; Play with your phone for only 20 minutes; Go out for an hour and you have to go home; Homework needs to be done within two hours.

Tell your child about the time limit for each task to make sure they don't spend too much time on a task.

Method 4: Establish a routine

Routine is the official work done according to the convention, and allowing the child to establish a routine can give him a good sense of control over time.

Parents can ask their children to establish daily, weekly, or monthly routines, such as cleaning the room, organizing school bags, etc.

When children do these things, they can slowly summarize the approximate time required for each thing, which is conducive to their understanding and control of time.

Establishing a routine can not only allow children to learn time management, but also develop good living habits and cultivate children's sense of responsibility.

Method 5: Teach children how to plan

Sometimes children are reluctant to take action because they don't know how to start. For example, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the teacher asked the child to make a handmade lantern. For children who have never done crafts, it will definitely find it difficult.

But if at this time, parents can teach their children how to plan, break down large projects into small tasks, and make plans to complete them step by step, children can easily complete the tasks.

For example, you can first search the Internet for lanterns to confirm the style and practice; Next, disassemble the materials and see what materials need to be purchased; Then purchase the relevant materials; Finally, you can start making step by step.

In this way, children can be taught that any "huge" task is made up of "small tasks" and that any "big time" is made up of "small time".

The next time the child encounters a big task, he can complete it through this step-by-step planning method, and the child's ability to manage time will gradually strengthen in this process.

Method 6: Provide feedback and rewards

Make a daily schedule with the child, the child does not complete as planned, parents need to provide feedback to the child, and review the reasons for the failure to complete, and constantly adjust.

In this process, every progress of the child needs to be seen by parents and encouraged in time. For example, completing a large task, being able to stick to a routine, or completing a daily schedule, parents can give their children some rewards appropriately.

The reward here is as spiritual as possible, such as a word of compliment, a big hug, or a reward for a family to go out to see a movie. Let the child know that every progress and growth he makes is worthy of being seen and encouraged.

Drucker said, "If you can't manage time, you can't manage anything."

Children who cannot manage their own time will be lazy and lazy, and everything needs to be worried and reminded by parents. Children who can manage their own time can arrange their lives and studies autonomously, without worrying about their parents.

Whether or not time management will basically determine the mood of parents and the future of children. Therefore, parents must pay attention to their children's time management, because only by learning to manage time can they manage their lives well.
