Help your child become organised
Learning how to make time for homework, study, chores, part-time jobs, and other responsibilities is a vital skill for all children, but it's one that we need to teach them by example.
Developing organisational skills is a necessary (and often slow) part of growing up, so we have created a weekly planner template (DOC 17KB) that you can use with your children over and over again. Using colour-coding may make it easier for some kids to follow.
This format is particularly effective for teens due to its highly visual nature. Print one for their desk, one for the fridge and one for their school bag to help keep them on track.
