The importance of time management to children
The importance of time management to children, children always have no idea about time, and procrastination and procrastination are almost the same characteristics of children. However, when parents are worried about this, the children themselves don't feel that the following is the importance of time management to their children and related information. Importance of time management to children 1
The consciousness and ability of time management should be cultivated from an early age, step by step
Consciousness determines action. To cultivate children's strong time management ability, we must first guide children to establish time management consciousness, which requires parents to guide and infiltrate purposefully in combination with daily life. For example, how to arrange study time, exercise time and rest time reasonably.
How to keep a good interest in learning and resist the temptation of mobile games for a period of time. These are all management projects on the road of children's growth, which seem small, but their management effect will determine the growth and development of children to a certain extent. Therefore, it is of great significance for children to infiltrate the consciousness of time management from an early age.
Interest is the best teacher. We should stimulate children's interest in time management from an early age and help them plan their time consciously. At ordinary times, you can learn and study with your child the cases where time management is proper and things are handled efficiently and with high quality, so as to open your child's vision and stimulate his yearning heart.
At the same time, parents also need to play an exemplary role, so that children can feel that parents are more appropriate in time arrangement and handle family affairs efficiently and with high quality, so that they can spare more time for parent-child activities, let children fully appreciate the benefits brought by time management, and effectively stimulate their interest in time management.
The improvement of children's time management ability should be accompanied by the gradual progress of children's growth. Parents can guide the methods of time management in stages according to their age characteristics and cognitive rules.
Initial stage (2-7 years old): Emphasis on guidance. Children of this age are strong in imitation and weak in self-control, so it is especially necessary to give guidance in starting. At the beginning, parents can help their children to work out the activity time of the day: when to get up and how long it will take; What time to eat and how long it will take; What time is the activity, and how much time will it take ...
At the same time, we should also put forward certain requirements for related activities, such as dressing yourself when you get up, eating independently when you eat, and finishing the activities conscientiously and independently. This kind of starting guidance can run through the children from the time they are sensible to the first and second grades of primary school. The emphasis is on encouraging children to learn the methods of time management and appreciate the benefits of time management.
participation stage (7-12 years old): focus on self-care. Children at this age have a certain cognitive foundation and practical experience in time management because of their foundation in the early stage, so they can be encouraged to participate in arranging the time of each activity together. For example, estimate the time taken to complete each operation, and record and evaluate it when completing the operation;
estimate the time needed to access information and give necessary opportunities to use computers or mobile phones; Estimate the time of expansion activities, and provide ample time for self-arrangement. Estimating time focuses on cultivating children's overall planning awareness of time and consciously dividing their spare time into sections, which can also better reflect the completion of tasks.
This kind of participation and guidance can run through children's primary school stage, focusing on cultivating children's ability of independent planning and management and improving children's efficiency in doing things.
autonomous stage (after the age of 12): let go again. Children at this stage have a certain degree of autonomy and independence, and they don't like to listen to their parents' preaching, so they can be encouraged to manage their time independently, such as arranging their daily schedules, including getting up, eating, leisure time, homework time, exercise time and sleep time.
and give children some autonomy. At the same time, parents should change their roles, from the role of a mentor to an encourager and supporter, and take care of their children's lives as the main purpose, so that children can feel their parents' care and encourage them to further strengthen their time management awareness, improve their time management ability and show themselves better.
children's awareness and ability of time management need to be standardized and improved in their daily life, so that they can gradually internalize into good habits. On the one hand, parents can design a time management method that conforms to their children's growth according to their age characteristics and cognitive rules, and strengthen it through multi-dimensional evaluation; On the other hand, parents can review the designed time management methods through observation and
communication, and make appropriate adjustments to make them more suitable for children's development. In the process of children's growth, parents should patiently guide and encourage children to participate in time management activities. Behind strengthening time management awareness and ability is to improve children's self-management ability.
parents should be good at teaching their children time management
parents should be good at guiding their children to develop good time management habits. On the one hand, parents should show their children what time management is and how to do it. On the other hand, parents should be patient with them, not only to sincerely encourage their children's progress, but also to rationally face their problems in time management.
first, demonstrate and lead. "Parents must first do what their children are required to do". In terms of time management, parents can plan everything in life with their children and preset the relevant activity time and results. For example, the evening time management can be preset as: homework at 17: , dinner at 18: , walking at 18: 4, and bathing at 19: 3.
read at 2: and go to bed at 21: (it can be adjusted in special circumstances). When children carry out these activities, parents can keep pace with their children, and they can also use the way of "competition" to stimulate their enthusiasm for participation, and immediately evaluate their completion, guide their children with positive encouragement and highlight the role of demonstration and guidance.
Second, be patient. In the process of guiding children to manage their time, it is extremely important for parents to accompany them patiently. On the one hand, parents and children face the details of daily life management together, especially when the children are younger, such companionship is more likely to stimulate their enthusiasm and help them form an orderly lifestyle;
On the other hand, parents can perform their respective tasks with their children, such as children doing homework and parents doing housework, and enjoy their respective achievements after completion. Such companionship can not only cultivate children's ability to do things independently, but also improve the efficiency of family management. It should be emphasized that companionship here does not simply refer to "accompanying" children at close range.
"watch" the children do things, but be able to accompany them flexibly according to the actual situation, which not only gives the children guidance on methods, but also gives them independent space, so that parents and children can win time management.
Third, we should face it rationally. Children will inevitably have various problems in the process of developing time management habits. In the face of children's problems, parents must face them rationally and dialectically, and must not simply and rudely handle them. For example, when children are found to have failed to finish an activity on time, they should be good at listening to their voices and understanding the reasons behind the phenomenon.
and encourage children to modify and improve themselves; For another example, when children apply to change some presuppositions, they should make reasonable adjustments on the basis of listening to their ideas to make the activities more suitable for children. In short, in the face of children's problems in time management.
Parents should respect their children on the premise and encourage perfection on the principle, constantly stimulate their children's awareness of correct time management and improve their self-management ability.
How to monitor and evaluate children's time management
It is also very important to monitor and evaluate children's time management in time. Evaluation can be divided into two ways: short-term evaluation and long-term evaluation: short-term evaluation can record children's daily activities in units of "days" and give appropriate evaluation rewards according to their specific performance; Long-term evaluation can be based on "week" and "month", and the completion of each week and month can be verified in a reasonable way, and then the time management of children can be summarized and evaluated in stages.
1, short-term evaluation, feeling explicit happiness. The short-term evaluation of children's time management can adopt classified evaluation method, mainly to make the effect visible. For example, in daily life, we can design a detailed evaluation table according to the children's activities in one day, record the corresponding results of each activity, and conduct a "star rating".
You can include all the spare-time life items of the day, or select some important items to reflect the children's time management achievement in a more comprehensive way. It is best to discuss the included activities with the children to make the evaluation more targeted and feasible. This evaluation form is more suitable for children aged 2-1.
every activity of a child can be carefully quantified, so that the child's life is more regular, and the child can learn to take everything in life seriously from an early age. Parents should carefully and continuously evaluate their children's daily activities, and give appropriate rewards according to the counted "stars", which can be meaningful items selected by children.
it can also be an outing. Help children form a stable and good concept of time, and gradually internalize it into their own living habits.
Short-term evaluation takes one project and one day's activities as the evaluation cycle, which clearly shows the situation of children in completing each activity. Children can actively participate in the process of self-evaluation, truly see the results of their efforts, and more effectively stimulate their enthusiasm for participating in time management.
2, long-term evaluation, experience deep happiness. Based on the short-term evaluation, parents can further analyze the weekly and monthly evaluation, so as to find out which projects have been completed better, as long as they insist on implementation; Which projects have not been completed satisfactorily and need to be revised.
the purpose of this cumulative evaluation is to maximize the results of time management. Parents can encourage their children to record their weekly "star rating" and guide them to form good habits that they adhere to for a long time; At the same time, we should also encourage children to correctly look at the different results of each month and rationally analyze and find points that can be further improved.
Long-term evaluation, with one week's performance, one month's situation and one year's growth as the statistical cycle, clearly shows the growth trajectory of children. Not only can children learn to look at the effectiveness of their own efforts as a whole, but they can also experience the importance of time management in their own growth and stimulate their internal driving force for self-growth.
3. Various evaluations to boost self-growth. Time management runs through people's whole life course, especially in the growth stage. Short-term evaluation can let children clearly see their efforts and gain the happiness of the moment. Long-term evaluation can let children experience the fruits of hard work for a period of time and give them a continuous successful experience.
The comprehensive application of short-term evaluation and long-term evaluation can not only make children pay attention to every activity every day, but also cultivate their persistent attitude, let them arrange their spare time more orderly, moderately control unnecessary interference and temptation, and broaden their independent development space.
Of course, parents should also correctly handle the relationship between appropriate material rewards and spiritual encouragement. When children are young, material rewards are an important way to motivate them to participate in activities; With the gradual growth of children's age, parents should downplay material rewards and guide children to pay attention to the improvement of their spiritual world.
In short, the process of children's growth is a long-term "nurturing history" of time management. As parents, we must first have the awareness of time management, but also have the ability to guide children to manage time; Secondly, we should have time management methods, be a good example in demonstration and guidance, and grow together with patience.
constantly improve in the face of rationality; Finally, we should pay attention to the evaluation of time management, use short-term evaluation to make every small success of children obvious, and use long-term evaluation to let children learn to persist and learn to adjust themselves. Only when parents accompany and guide with care can children really grow into masters of time management. Importance of time management to children 2
Importance of "time management" ability to children
Why are some children so procrastinating, procrastinating and inefficient? There is a high probability that children lack the ability of time management. When they deal with things, they have no priorities or plans to arrange their time. They only do things with their heads covered, which leads to a lot of time wasted and has not achieved good results, which gradually breeds negative emotions and triggers a vicious circle.
peter drucker, a management guru, said, "Time is the most scarce resource in the world. Unless it is strictly managed, nothing will be achieved." Therefore, only parents who pay attention to cultivating their children's "time management" ability are truly smart, and their children will be more promising in the future.
how to cultivate children's "time management ability"?
"Time management ability" can make children's goals clear, finish their own affairs in an orderly way, and save time to cultivate other hobbies and enrich their personal life. However, how to cultivate children's "time management ability"?
① Help children to establish the concept of time and accurately recognize time
Now, all the "watches" we use are electronic and cold numbers, so it is difficult to tell children vividly what a minute, five minutes and an hour are. Therefore, parents often feel that time has passed for a long time, and their children are still ignorant and unable to accurately recognize the time.
Parents are advised to help their children establish the concept of time first, and use concrete things, such as hourglass, to tell their children the common time concepts of 1 minute, 5 minutes and 1 minutes. In this way, children will know what is fast and what is slow.
② Guide children to plan their time and finish things in a planned way
Actually, not only children, but also adults sometimes can't manage their time well. Wake up in the morning, get ready to get up and make breakfast. As a result, I look at and brush my circle of friends, and the time is unconsciously at eleven o'clock.
Therefore, cultivating children's ability to manage time can guide them to plan their time well. For example, it takes 1 minutes to get dressed and 2 minutes to finish a problem. When the child successfully completes, giving him some rewards, allowing him to play for a while or giving him some snacks can bring great satisfaction to the child's time management and form a virtuous circle.
③ Parents should supervise and remind
People's brains can't develop well until they are 2 years old, so it is inevitable that children's self-control ability is poor. Therefore, to cultivate children's time management ability, don't expect children to be conscious. Parents should monitor their children's task completion progress and remind lazy and distracted children, so that children will be restrained, their awareness of self-restraint and management will be improved, and their ability to manage time will be strengthened.

Then why do children always procrastinate?
First, psychological reasons
In fact, many children have procrastination problems because of negative emotions, or
