The characteristic of time is that it is gone forever and is out of human control. If it is lost, it is completely lost and cannot be redeemed.

With the development of modern science and technology, people seem to think that things that have missed time can also be retrieved by manpower, such as playing programs, storing functions, even not listening well in class, spending money to make up after class, eating other food after missing meals or eating better than meals, and so on. All these subconsciously stifle the idea that children are short of time. Especially today's children have no concept of time at all. When parents use time to restrain them, they can't hurt them at all. They don't have a deep understanding of the irreversible nature of time.

Second, let children get in touch with things related to time.

Children can keep pets or plant flowers and plants, and instruct them to keep observation diaries. From the time when small seeds are buried in the soil to the time when they germinate, grow leaves, blossom, bear fruit and die, the changes in each time period and the changes in the four seasons will strengthen their profound understanding of the concept of time. Coupled with the guidance and education of parents, children will know that they are growing bit by bit in time, and each time period will change and grow. Parents are also getting old in time, racing against time every day, making their time meaningful and rewarding every day. Once time is missed, it can't be retrieved.

Third, teach children how to use their time.

Children's understanding of time is one-sided. Some focus on one thing, but when they do it seriously, they will waste a lot of time. Some will lengthen the time front and finish one thing before doing the next. There is no time to integrate and the efficiency is low. This shows that children will not use time, and we need parents to teach them:

1. Master planning method

Two or more things can be done at the same time, so that the utilization rate at the same time can reach the highest efficiency. For example, while making tea and boiling water, brush tea sets, find tea leaves and cut fruits. You can listen to English and recite words on the way to school by car.

2. Ordering daily tasks

Sort the tasks to be completed every day according to: very important, important, secondary important and general, and allocate time according to the degree of importance.

3. Cultivate children's ability to predict tasks and time.

Children do not have the ability to accurately predict time, so it often leads to conflicts between parents' estimates and children's estimates. Parents feel that time is too tight, but children feel that they should hurry. Before you do something, discuss with your children the approximate time when it will be completed, and then try to finish it within this time. And set up overtime punishment and early completion of rewards to urge children to use this time compactly and not waste time.

Fourth, use a timer to improve children's sensitivity to time.

Children are not sensitive to time and often delay or forget the passage of time. For example, reading books, playing games and watching cartoons, we often say, just watch for a while and it will be over.

At this time, you can use a timer to limit the time. When children say they have to wait for a while, let them use accurate time such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes instead of vague time. Then let the child use a timer to limit the time of his choice. As soon as the timer rings, it will be over, and it is impossible to find other excuses and reasons.

Things like brushing your teeth, changing clothes and doing your homework can all be limited by timers. Children will gradually establish a concept of time and have a more accurate estimate of how long it will take to complete different things. Whatever you do, you will form good habits and reduce procrastination.

Buying your child a watch that you like early is also one of the ways to establish time sensitivity.

Fifth, leave the children reasonable and free time.

You can promise your child that if you finish your homework with high quality within the specified time, you can freely control the rest of the evening. But try to avoid spending all your time on mobile phones, computers and TV. You can set a ratio and set aside some time to go out and play games, read books or play board games with your family.

Letting them do what they want freely is an important reward mechanism, which can motivate them to become efficient and organized.

In this way, they can concentrate on finishing their homework with high quality instead of finishing it as soon as possible.

Sixth, let children know "when to do what"

Don't underestimate the concept of "when to do what" Great truths are easier said than done. Many adults certainly understand this truth, but when it comes to their own heads, they are often confused. For example, when it's time to rest, I still stay up late, indulge in games or fall in love at school, and when I really get to the age of talking about marriage, I am tied up by work and become single dog. Many adults may not be able to do the right thing at the right time.

Seven. Control the habit of procrastination and dawdling.

① Understand the reasons behind children's procrastination.

(2) Find a rhythm suitable for children, instead of always urging children to "hurry up"

(3) Please give your child enough time on trivial matters, because this is the process of children's exploration.

If the child is really procrastinating, tell the child the consequences of procrastination and let the child try to bear it.

5 In addition to asking children not to delay or dawdle, mothers also need to respond in time and set an example when facing children's demands.

Fundamentally speaking, children themselves are the real masters of time, so it is most important to teach children to understand the concept of time and learn to manage time.
