When my niece was a little girl we played a game to help her better manage her time and become more organized. I would give her the challenge of beating the clock (or me) in completing a task, such as picking up her toys or books, finishing her homework or chores and getting ready for school and bedtime. That way, she could have fun, while learning great time management and organization skills. She relished getting a star on the achievement chart, earning a treat or reward, but mostly she enjoyed being able to say, " I did it". My goal was to encourage her toward self-fulfillment and increased self-esteem for a job well done. She's a preteen now, so I hope that the games we played still have an affect on her, as she gets older. Take the time to help shape your child today.
