has entered the third grade, with more and more tasks, and the requirements for time management are constantly increasing. The so-called time management does not depend on how many things you do, but how many important things you do within a limited time.
.
However, cultivating children's concept of time is a long process. On the one hand, we must respect the growth stage of our children and understand that children are naturally active and easily attracted by novel things. On the other hand, you must also use enough patience to guide your children step by step to develop a concept of time and know how to plan their own time.
.
It is gratifying that after entering the third grade, the child's procrastination has been greatly reduced. Although there is still a gap compared with the top students, this improvement is enough to make the old mother excited. I would like to share some ideas with you.
[Rainbow R]
[One R] priority. Children have limited energy and cannot be perfect in everything. They must distinguish between the primary and secondary. For example, weak subjects are given priority. Whether it is pre-study or review, it is given priority to ensure weak subjects. After all, in a balanced environment, first achieve no obvious shortcomings, and then let’s talk about the issue of cultivating excellent subjects. For example, for extracurricular classes that are exhausting and children are not interested in, please do not hesitate and stop losses decisively.
.
[2R] Leave blank space for time. Children's time includes both time for learning and thinking, as well as time for playing, entertainment, and doing nothing. When parents fully grasp their children's time, they will only find ways to delay and secretly play to buy time for themselves when they have to study. Therefore, it is important to leave appropriate blank space.
.
[Three R] refine time. Don’t limit the time limit to completing all the school homework in one hour, but refine it into how much time it takes for each item and complete it in time. This benefit is to make children more conceptual about time and gradually realize how much they can do in how long they can. Also avoid the situation where the front is loose and the back is tight during practice or exams.
.
[Four R] Don't adjust the plan at will. For example, after you have made up your plan today, the remaining time will be at your child’s discretion after it is completed. Never add plans at will just because your child completes the task ahead of time. When a child thinks that no matter how homework is done, it is inevitable to procrastinate.
.
[Five R] Stop urging. I can't help but urge when I see my child procrastinating, but I gradually found that my child is very resistant to my urge and was worried that one day the progress of the child's work will not be planned according to the time, but will be determined based on the degree of urging and anger of the parents. When I tried to use the previous methods to formulate a plan and implement it with him, I found that the original urging was invalid and destroyed the parent-child relationship, which was really unnecessary.
