Time management isn’t easy, but for high school students it can be a task in itself. Many juggle homework, sports, extracurricular activities, and often a job so getting through it takes some work. Stay positive and remind them to take things one at a time.
Also, help your teenager resolve conflicting commitments. If they have a Wednesday test and plans to babysit Tuesday, encourage them to find a replacement babysitter or study prior. Suggesting to say ‘no’ occasionally can also help.
Like a lot of life lessons, the best results come when you can lead by example. Work to achieve balance in your own life…plan ahead and set priorities. The better you are at improving your time management, the better example you’ll be for your teen….helping them enjoy those high school days that much more.
