Yesterday we gave you some ways to help get your child organized and today we will provide you with some additional information.
- So one of the things we tend to do is leave out or deny the fact that at some point in our lives we have been unorganized or messy. Instead of being in denial give your child some ways that you use to stay organize, this not gives them a sense of normalcy but provides them with ways in which they can get better organized. For example show them your calendar and how you keep up with appointments or show them how or where you place things that you need on a daily basis.
- Review your child's assignments nightly and compare them to their agendas or calendars. There are several school systems that use the gradespeed system or similar web based grade book that allows parents to access to student assignments and grades at any time. If a system like this is available through your school district make sure you sign up for access and use it to monitor your child's grades and assignments.
- Have your child pack their back pack for the next day upon completion of homework that way all of their things are in place and ready to go for the next day.
- Make sure your child has a way to store school supplies that is well organized. In other words they should not have pencils and pens tossed in the bottom of their backpacks.
- Discuss long-term projects with your children and develop a schedule that allows them to work on those projects on a regular basis in small chucks so that it is not so overwhelming.
