No one can deny that time management is a crucial life skill and mastering this paves the way for future success. For upper primary kids and teenagers in particular, juggling school work, preparing for tests and exams, attending enrichment and tuition classes and engaging in other extra-curricular activities can be overwhelming. When you start your kids young in planning their own schedules and prioritising their time and activities, it sets the groundwork for time management when they are older.<\/p>\n

Sticking to a regular time especially on school days for both getting out of bed and into it builds discipline. Waking up in time for school teaches kids to acquire the good habit of being punctual, for instance. Going to sleep by a certain hour also ensures your child gets adequate sleep to feel rested and have enough energy to last them during the day.<\/p>\n

Much time is wasted if a child has to rummage for items such as stationery or school books. Trying to get out of the house in time for school can be a constant mad scramble if your child can\u2019t find their uniform or socks and shoes.<\/p>\n
That is why getting one\u2019s personal items in order first is essential in ensuring that time is used efficiently and deadlines can be met. Allocate a dedicated area for studying and provide your child with adequate space, shelving and filing facilities. A good habit to inculcate in your child is to make them pack their school bags and have their uniform and other items ready in the wardrobe or closet before they retire for the night.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to involve your child in this process. Buy them a diary or calendar that\u2019s useful for their needs — it can serve as a day-by-day, weekly or monthly timetable. They can use different coloured pens or pencils to write in the activities and timings and colour code them according to the type of activity. Stickers can be added to mark special days or occasions. For those who are tech-savvy, they can use apps to plan their schedules. <\/p>\n
In the run-up to school tests or exams, help guide your child in planning how much time they should set aside to study for each topic. For topics that are more challenging, it\u2019s only logical to factor in more time. Be realistic and avoid cramming in too much study time at the expense of breaks. Breaks are important for your child to recharge their tired brains. <\/p>\n

Being over-zealous in packing in too many activities within a finite time frame can backfire. You may have the best intentions in wanting your child to succeed, but they will become resentful if they are not given any downtime to pursue their own interests.<\/p>\n
When children have their own free time, they can gain much by relieving their stress, having the time to think and recharge and mingle with their peers. All this is essential for their emotional well-being.<\/p>\n

We all know just how important it is to keep a tight rein on our child\u2019s use of social media or tech gadgets. Once they are addicted to these diversions, it\u2019ll be an uphill battle weaning them off and it also pretty much derails the best laid time management plans.<\/p>\n
Be strict in rationing their use especially before and during their school tests and exams. However, ease up on the controls during the school break or even use the promise of more screen time as a reward for meeting deadlines, fulfilling targets or achieving small successes.<\/p>\n
