How can I help my child manage their time better?

Answer 1

Establishing a means of scheduling in all assignments, test dates and upcoming exams is an important strategy in helping students stay on top of their assignments. All assignments and tests must be noted in one place and that locus must be checked each day in order to ensure that no assignments are missed. I teach organizational and study skills as well as test taking skills that can help students achieve their full potential. Dr. Jane

Answer 2

Time management skills are essential for academic success. Here’s how you can help:

1. Teach Prioritization: Help them identify what’s urgent versus what can wait, using a task-ranking system.
2. Introduce Time Blocking: Schedule specific periods for homework, studying, and breaks.
3. Set Daily Goals: Encourage them to write down 2-3 key tasks to complete each day.
4. Track Progress: Use a checklist or app to monitor what’s been done and what’s left.
5. Model Good Habits: Show them how you manage your time to set an example.

I work with students to develop these skills and tailor strategies to fit their personalities and challenges.
