Therefore, parents should pay enough attention to help children master the way of managing time and have a clear understanding of time. It is possible to teach children the correct use of time and management of time through the "law of eating frogs".

What is the "law of eating frogs"?

The "eat the frog" rule was proposed by the American orator Born Tracy. He stated in his book: " You need to discover the three most important things in a day, a week, a month, a whole year, or even in your life, and these three things are the "frogs" you must eat. Don't spend time watching them, and if you're going to eat these "frogs" in a row, remember to eat the biggest and ugliest one first! "

That is, parents need to help their children pick out the three most important things in their daily chores to rank. When children complete the most difficult things and learn to manage time in the process, they will naturally be able to handle other less difficult things with ease. Effectively alleviate the phenomenon of children's dawdling and improve children's time management ability.

How can parents develop children's time management skills?

1. Identify the tasks that need to be done

First, parents need to help their children identify the tasks that must be completed. Parents cannot instill boring theories on their children and unilaterally force their children to plan tasks. Instead, the child should be guided to participate and let the child analyze which task is the most important. You can take out a piece of paper and guide the child to clearly write out the things that need to be done, so that the child can summarize and coordinate, and intuitively realize what he needs to accomplish every day. This will help children to allocate time subjectively, and to be more clear about what they need to do.

2. Sort "Frogs"

Secondly, parents need to guide their children to sort out the tasks written, that is, the "frogs" that need to be eaten. Put the hardest things first, and eat one before moving on to the next. For example, for many children, learning may be the most difficult thing, so parents can guide their children to prioritize learning. Only after completing the learning task, can follow-up other affairs be carried out. If children want to gain more play time or watch cartoons, they should complete learning tasks quickly so that they can have more free time.

3. Time progress of protecting the "frog"

Finally, because young children lack the self-control ability of behavior and the ability to control time, parents need to do a good job of watching and assisting. Help the child protect the progress of each "frog" being eaten. When the child's progress is slow, parents should give appropriate reminders. Ask the child to complete the tasks in strict accordance with the order that has been set. For example, when children do not complete their learning tasks, they cannot let them play with toys and watch cartoons. Teach your child to realize that his time is passing and that he needs to hurry.

When children have the ability to manage their own time, they feel that they are in control of their time. Finding that time can improve efficiency in their own planning, the child will naturally change the phenomenon of procrastination and be able to allocate their time reasonably. Therefore, parents may wish to try the "eating frog rule" to help children grade and optimize tasks and cultivate children's time management skills.
