Your child may end up confused and frustrated when it comes to staying on top of things with assignments, project deadlines, and exams. But by teaching them the right organizational skills, being a successful student would be a walk in the park.
Get your child in the habit of composing to do lists. Have them use this checklist to keep track of assignments, household chores, and reminders about what materials to bring to class.
Have your child keep a small pad or notebook especially for listing down these tasks. Once they accomplish one task, have them cross it off from the list. Seeing a completed to do list will instill a strong sense of accomplishment in your child. It will also help him prioritize assignments and household chores over less important things.
Don't forget that a stable routine is also imperative to your child's success in school. Have your child study in the same place everyday. This place should be a quiet location in your home, where there would be very little distractions to your child while he is doing homework. Also, make sure that all your child's study materials and supplies are accessible in that area.
You must also establish a routine when it comes to bedtime and television watching. Children who sleep at a regular time on a daily basis are more keen on performing better in school.
Before you have your child settle into bed, have him prepare his things for the next day. This includes his books and homework. You must also have him prepare the clothes he'll be wearing the next day. This lessens the amount of time dedicated to getting ready in the morning. Doing so will not only give you more time, it will also ensure that your child doesn't leaving anything important for school.
Lastly, encourage your child to sort through his school bag and books on a weekly basis. This way they won't fall victim to the paper clutter monster.
