Timely Games
Sometimes children have a hard time with time management. For younger children especially, it can be difficult for them to understand what it means when you say you have to be somewhere in ten minutes – for example. I have come up with an easy way to help children mark time, stay on task and keep everyone in a good mood. My girls love dance music, so I will put on a song and let them know that they have to get dressed and teeth brushed, or straighten up their rooms (whatever the task is) by the time the song has ended. It helps to pick a song that your kids are familiar with – as they can better anticipate how much time they have. I have created a play list of songs that work really well for my girls if you are interested in trying this.
Dancing in the bathroom - teeth brushed, pajamas on and song is still running!
