We all need continual practice if we are to prioritize appropriately. I know I am always looking for new and better ways to stay organized, manage my time, and prioritize in such a way that helps me feel more productive and less stressed. It may seem like the day to day happenings of a kid or teenager pales in comparison to what you, as an adult and parent, have to handle, but their daily lives can also feel to them to be very unmanagable.
The thing is, if we don't help our children learn how to handle the smaller stressors and issues that they face now in a constructive and effective manner, they will struggle even more to handle the larger ones that they will face as they enter adulthood.
The following link is to an article that provides ideas and tips on how to teach your child/teen to be more organized, better manage their time and how to set priorities...The good news?? You most likely will take something away that will help you out as well :)
