Habit 3 Put First Things First

Put First Things First means to decide
what is most important and to take care of
that first. Thinking about what needs to be
done tomorrow or by the end of the week
can be overwhelming, especially for
children. Learning to think of which things
are the most important and taking care of
them first allows children (and adults) to
be less stressed. If your child uses a
planner at school, then he or she has a
great organizational tool to Put First
Things First in writing. By writing down
his or her responsibilities and planning
ahead, last-minute trips to the store,
missed events, or missed homework are
avoided. If your child does not use a
planner, having a weekly log would also
be helpful. This could simply be a piece
of paper that is used each week. Modeling
this behavior is one of the best ways to
teach children.
Try this at home:
Create a list of things your child
needs to accomplish throughout a
week. With your child, rank the tasks
in importance. Then rewrite the list in
order of importance. Use a planner or
calendar to schedule time so that the
important things are done first.
