It’s that time of year where kids are already back in school or soon will be. And one of the most important things we as parents can help our children with at the beginning of the school year is teaching them how to get and stay organized. Building these habits early in their lives will benefit them throughout their career as a student and later as an adult.
In today’s episode we cover:
1. Creating a designated homework space at home and why having a dedicated area prevents unnecessary stress and promotes a focused mindset.
2. Providing storage solutions for backpacks and school supplies as well as keeping a central family bulletin board or calendar to keep track of all school related things.
3. Establishing a regular homework schedule and setting expectations. How to establish consistency and routine, along with strategies to help your child adhere to their schedule.
4. How to keep homework and projects organized with color-coded folders.
5. Motivating and breaking down tasks for younger children. Stickers, rewards, and incremental steps can make a significant difference in their productivity and understanding.
6. Teaching your children the importance of planning ahead using calendars or planners and how they can track assignments and due dates effectively.
7. Understanding your role as a parent in helping your child with organization, including how involved you should be based on your child's age. Also, how you can provide guidance without taking over their responsibilities and allowing them to develop self-confidence as they learn to become more independent learners.
