It's More Than A Line In The Sand

Teaching our children interpersonal and organizational skills to help them deal with deadlines

The kids love the white board calendar and know exactly where to find the things I've left for them. But, they are both struggling with getting and keeping their school bags organized. It appears that it will take them some time to find the systems that work bet for them; and, I guess, considering how long it's taken me to achieve this system, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

  • Keith has a white board at his place and I have started using a basket on the counter for dropping keys, cell phone and other items that have to go out the door but are usually part of the old mad rush in the morning when I get in the car and suddenly realize I don't have them and have no idea where they are.

    Getting the brief/bag assembled with everything so it is in one place... all organizational habits to build on so these crazy and hectic days can flow a little more smoothly. Wish I'd known more of them and done more of them when my daughter was younger so she'd have picked up on them then.
