Assign Time Management Activity

Teach your child to prioritize tasks and allocate time effectively. Use visual aids like schedules and timers to help them manage their time and balance responsibilities.

It’s important to teach our children how to manage their time wisely and prioritize tasks effectively. Let’s imagine a typical day for a child named Tonya. Tonya has school in the morning, followed by homework, playtime, and dinner. To help Tonya understand the value of time, her parents create a colorful daily schedule for her. In the morning, Tonya has school from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. When she comes home, she has a visual schedule on her wall that shows from 2:30 PM to 3:00 PM is for finishing her homework. Then, from 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM, she can play her favorite game. After that, it’s time for a healthy snack from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM. Her parents set a timer to help her know when each activity starts and ends. For example, when the timer rings at 3:00 PM, Tonya knows it’s time to stop playing and start on her homework. This way, Tonya learns to manage her time effectively, finishing her tasks and having fun too. By using visual aids like schedules and timers, we’re helping Tonya and other children like her balance their responsibilities and make the most of their day.
