"Parenting" has a systematic learning time plan.

The primitive function of the brain is to survive and to ensure that human genes can continue on the surface of the earth, not to learn and plan for life. Therefore, all the knowledge and skills of learning have to be systematically cultivated and nurtured later in life.

Many teachers and parents may often complain about Mr. Absentmindedness, Miss Procrastination, accusing them of not being able to plan their time, always putting off their homework until the last minute, or feeling that every homework that should be completed is still in the "half-finished stage" even after the night is over. At this point, we ask teachers to pause their incessant chattering and staring at their children, and to take a moment to think about whether we have spent time and energy teaching our children to review their teacher's prescribed assignments, their favorite activities, and how much time they have available each day, and to learn to plan their time and strike a balance between their assignments and their hobbies and interests, Then you learn to plan your time, strike a balance between schoolwork and hobbies, entertainment, and finally, between the trade-offs, make a reasonable progress, and then implement it exactly?

If teachers have never taught these planning skills and methods, it is no wonder that children have become passive learners who "say something and he moves something". In the competitive 21st century, time planning is a network of thinking that cannot be left out of the frontal lobe of the brain. The following methods can help readers teach their children to develop the habit of time planning.

(a) Know how much time is available after school - Parents can use commercially available calendars to fill in the weekly schedule of talent classes and extracurricular activities, so that the child will know how much time is available for him or her when he or she gets home from school, and then consider how to plan for it.

(b) Planning the schedule together - Compare the contact book and the schedule with your child, and discuss how to use the limited time after class to properly organize time to complete school assignments and favorite activities.

(c) Enforce the timetable - This is the most important period for making good use of time and developing good habits. Especially in the first few weeks, children tend to miscalculate the amount of time they have to spend on schoolwork and are unable to keep track of the progress they expect to make. Also, because they are used to being supervised and pushed by their parents, suddenly they have the power to make plans, which is one thing, but whether or not they can actually carry them out is another. As a result, the habit of time planning becomes a farce for nothing.

In the early stages of implementation, if the child is in the lower grades, parents can take advantage of the 20-minute break to review progress with the child, supervise his homework, make sure that the child can actually follow through on his schedule, and discuss areas of improvement that must be noted in future planning and scheduling. For middle and upper grades, you may choose to remind your child once every half hour to one hour to confirm, review, and improve his schedule.

(d) Learning to be independent - After three or four weeks of this method, the child has generally been able to master the skills and ability to draw, but also slowly develop good habits. At this point, parents must slowly step down to a supervisory role. Allow your child to do the drawing on his own, so that he can develop an independent personality and the ability to plan and organize his life in an organized manner.

(E) Let the child be responsible for his own behavior - a good habit is not easy to develop, in the implementation of the period, the child will inevitably appear lazy, perfunctory attitude. At this point, it is easy to go back to the old passive learning mode of "push the child to move". In fact, the best way, which is also the most difficult for parents to do, is to let the child suffer the adverse consequences of his or her own "procrastination" once or twice, which is a painful experience that is more effective than parental nagging, threatening, and lecturing.

Often, parents have to spend a lot of effort and wisdom in order to develop a good habit in their children; however, once a good habit is developed, it becomes a treasure that the child can use for the rest of his or her life, especially when it comes to making a good personal life plan, and the ability to execute it, which is the best cornerstone for determining a person's future success.

We would like to encourage all parents who are struggling with their child's procrastination to not give up and to try out the methods we have provided!
