Organization is an important skill to obtain; being organized means many things; and can help children become successful students and organized adults.
Children who have organizational skills have more chance to:
-
keep up with school
-
remember where they have placed important school papers or homework,
-
assist their mom around the house
-
take care of their toys and clothes
-
be able to dress up faster and by themselves
-
put their clothes in places or into laundry baskets by themselves
-
be on time for school and important dates rather than holding parents back
-
care for money and watch spending
This Program is presented as a training of trainers(TOT) and divided into three modules to help kids understand the previous aspects of life:
-
Module 1- My Room: Learning to be organized: Improve and enrich the feel and love for their room, desks, toys and other possessions in order to convince them to take care of it and show the benefit they will get due to organizing to encourage them to learn the how to.
-
Module 2- My Money: Helping kids to understand the idea of needs and wants. Explain the idea of “my wallet” and how to carry money safely. Learning how to save and spend money wisely by understanding the value of things. .
-
Module 3- My Time: Learning about time: Young children can talk about things that have happened or will happen, but they cannot yet understand or talk about these events in terms of units of time or sequence. Using Calendars, clocks, checklists and to-do lists will help children to understand not only concepts such as before and after but also the relative lengths of time or distance of past or future events from the present, furthermore, how to plan for their days.
The above modules are introduced to kids in a potentially 12 hour discussion, split on three days with materials, presentation, story-telling, activities and handouts to deliver the messages in a smooth and child friendly way. In addition to extra one hour for parents to discuss with them how to help their children stay organized and sustain what they have learned through our workshop.
