Time Management

Children and teens thrive on structure.  While some students are very self-sufficient or self-motivated, others may need more help in building habits that will lead to academic and executive functioning success.  All children may benefit from teaching and reinforcing good study routines at home.  

While different strategies work for different families, here are a few basics to try:

• Work with your child to come up with a daily routine.  Allow your student to take the lead on designing their goals.  

  • • It should be visually posted and reviewed until habits becoming ingrained.  It may take a few revisions to get it right.  

    • See resources below for time management worksheets and strategies.

    • Build-in breaks and use timers to stay on track.

    • Review progress with your students and help them self-evaluate what went well and what may need improvement/revision.

• Each student should have a consistent and quiet workspace.
