Providing Student Diary. Tell your kids to jot down important information such as homework and activities and go through this with them every night.
Buy them a kids watch. Give this to your kid as a gift, and teach him/her about the importance of knowing what the time is and planning ahead.
Help them to prioritise tasks. Teach your kids to highlight what work needs to be done first and what ones can be left for a later time.
