Time Management for Kids

In honor of National Time Management Month in February, we’d like to share some tips to help improve your child’s time management skills.

Time management skills are essential to a successful life, and their importance only increases as we grow older.

For children, developing good time management habits early on can lay the foundation for a successful and fulfilling life.

Here are five daily time management ideas for kids:

1. Set routines and schedules – Children benefit from having a structured daily routine that helps them prioritize their time effectively.
2. Encourage goal setting – Encourage children to set achievable goals for themselves, such as completing homework by a certain time or saving money for a special toy.
3. Teach prioritization – Help children understand the importance of prioritizing tasks based on urgency and importance.
4. Limit distractions – Set boundaries for distractions such as screens and video games so children can focus on their tasks without interruption.
5. Lead by example – Children learn by observing the behavior of those around them, so ensure you set a good example by managing your time and theirs effectively. 

BrainBeat Builds Stronger Organizational Skills

BrainBeat, a 15-20 minute-a-day brain training program, helps your child develop key cognitive skills like focus, attention, working memory, and planning.

By improving these skills, children become better at staying organized and on track, which leads to more effective time management.

Today’s children are bombarded with dozens of things vying for their precious attention.

Building skills that help kids prioritize and plan better can dramatically improve a child’s chances of success.

Children who develop good habits early on will be better prepared for the future.
