Be productive:

Homework? Check.

Take pictures for photography class? Check.

Do the dishes? Check.

Knowing what to do and getting it done will make your tween’s life run more smoothly and help her be more successful.

Share these four strategies. 1. Pick what’s important Suggest that your child make a daily to-do list—with priorities. She might divide her list into what must be done today and what can wait until the next day. A good tip: Encourage her to keep her list manageable. Writing down everything she needs to do all month may just lead to frustration.

2. Use “prime time” Maybe your tween is a morning person and concentrates better then. If so, she could review for tests on the bus or do projects on weekend mornings. If she’s more alert after school or at night, however, she can focus her energies then.
