Every day as the clock strikes eight
in the morning, the mothers at every home become super women. They face the
ordeal of waking their sleepy head children and getting them ready for school
day in and day out. Forcing the kids out of bed, making them brush, bathe and
eat their breakfast is not less than third world war for any mother. That too
if the child is too sensitive, handling their temper tantrums is even worse. In
such cases there are some simple tips that can bring in time management in
children and help them to grow into a disciplined person. Some of these
techniques are highlighted here:
Time recording
Buying the child time clocks
helps a lot in this regard. This device is generally used by employers to
record the working time log of every employee in and organization. This wonder
device can be used to discipline the child. For example if the child has to
finish brush and cleaning within a time, mothers can ask them to punch in their
time after completing the work every day. This weekly record can be compared on
Sunday along with the child and if the kid has completed the task on time every
day he or she deserves a chocolate.
Everything is a race
If the child is small to understand a
time recording, then parents can try to convert every activity into a race and
the child as the participant. At the blow of the whistle the child has to begin
and complete the task before the whistle blows again. This enthuses the child
and by converting every mundane activity into a game, the child and parent does
not feel the strain as well.
Penalty shoots
If the ball overshoots beyond the goal
post, the referee orders for a penalty shoot out. Following this rule, the
child can be allowed one extra chance if he or she fails to keep up time. When
the child hears the word penalty more than once, he feels he has consumed more
time and tries to speed up himself. This feedback driven system helps the child
to learn his chores quickly.
Not only getting ready for school, but
activities like home work, playing, eating and sleeping can all be made time
bound for the child to learn time management at a very early stage of life.
