Three Simple Steps to Reduce Teen Spring Fever
We are coming to the end of the school year and kids are
starting to get distracted by dreams of summer break, end of year celebrations
and overall boredom. How can you help
your kids keep focused during this time of the year?
Dr. Kristine Dunn, PhD. shares her thoughts with the
Adventures In Organizing community.
Kristine has a vast array of experience working with teens and youth.
Three Simple Steps to Reduce Teen Spring Fever
To have your teenagers stay organized there are effective
strategies that can be utilized...... especially when 'spring fever' kicks
in.
- Begin by asking them to go through their back pack every Tuesday and Friday with you as this will help with knowing what students need to do for the weekend and also know what is due during the week.
- Have organizing folders with each subject to help them keep track of their paperwork.
- Encourage them to meet with their teachers each week to determine what is due, and if they do not comply, follow up with emails to the teachers. A benefit of examining the back pack on a Friday can provide contingencies of completion of homework for activities that they would like to participate in !
It can be an "Aha" moment for parents and an "ok I'll do my
work" moments for students. If there are ongoing concerns, a school counselor
is always available to help continue to support and motivate students during
their school day as well.
If you would like help getting either your student or yourself organizing in 2014, we are happy to help. On May 19 we are launching a new online program called "10 Weeks to a More Organized Life". Register now to ensure you receive the early registration discount.
