At least that's what awaits their children think - WASHINGTON - New year, new organizational habits.
But rather than monumental organization of thought, not the solution of the new year is a goal that can be achieved with small changes, but steadily.
WTOP spoke with former Professor Ann Dolin Public School with educational links Inc. , explains how parents teach their children develop better habits can help to help keep them in school.
1. "Keep an organized backpack"
Since children almost their desks and lockers do not use as much as before and do not have many books, Dolin said: "It is very important that the children keep an organized backpack."
To help them, Dolin recommend using the "KAT" system.
"K" hold "? Help your child out of all the first materials from their backpacks and then determine what are the things that your child "hold needs, he said. That usually means they think the job is currently working on the pocket.
Next: A is "archived" for which Dolin declares that, for example, keep old tests and study guides to because teachers often use questions. "What are the things that later they do not now have" them.
And finally: "shoot"? T is for what are the things that your child can of "Dolin to get rid of these things and are the responsibility of the age who do not have to relate.
2. Incorporate new habits and activities your family
Develop a new habit, said Dolin, "Integration into something you already do."
"So let's say that in your family, every Sunday night, has a family dinner at the end of the family dinner, it can be." Time clean sweep "- or" Time Cat "- his" backpack time of purification " any where in fact the organization, "she said.
Not only the child is messy said Dolin, but also participate in the adult household member. Sort 15-20 minutes, everyone in the family is cleanup backpacks, or folder, or to clean a work area. It is a habit of cleaning, not just a single act.
"Everyone is trying to organize."
3. Ask questions that think your child
Finally, if your child comes home from school, think of a better question: "Do you have homework" This question "do not require critical thinking," Dolin said.
"Instead, it is best to ask powerful questions of our children," he added. "So in this case it could be:" What are your priorities now for the task? "
Questions like this will help to organize children what to do first, second, third, etc. And even if you do not verbalize their priorities, what they think about the do what they should do.
