My wife values time differently; she’s a person who can accomplish a lot of things even in a small span of time. So when it comes to time management, it is more of my responsibility than hers.

Everyday, I have to commute an hour before I arrive at the office, but I can still eat breakfast with my wife and daughter. I keep on reminding my daughter that it is important that she’ll arrive to school early so she doesn’t need to rush in writing her long name. During parties or events, I set more time allowances and utter the time we should be there so everyone would hurry up. Through being persistent and being a good example, not only my kids, but even my wife is adapting ways on how to be early most of the time.

My children follow two simple rules in the house:

1. Do not be late. – If we are going somewhere and they are not ready by the time I specify, I really leave them behind.

2. Prepare in advance. – I tell my children that last-minute cramming to do anything is a bad habit, and they will most likely omit or forget certain things in the process if they work like this.

I guess for me the most effective way to show my child the importance of time management is by example.
Like, in the morning I don’t open the computers until breakfast has been eaten, bath taken, and school stuffs done. We can then do our computer/internet stuffs while waiting for his school bus to arrive…

Time is so important in my household. We have wall clocks installed in all rooms and various parts of the house. I even have a small clock in the bathroom. It’s been useful especially during our hectic weekday mornings. It helps my boys keep track of the time, even while taking a bath, because breakfast is ready by 5.20 a.m.

When my son arrives in the afternoon, I let him watch TV while he takes his merienda but he needs to keep track of time because we need to start studying and doing his homework by 6 in the evening. Dinner is seved by 7 p.m. and we sleep by 9 p.m.

We have had this routine for two years now that I don’t need to remind him about the rules anymore. I guess, setting a routine helped me train my child in time management.
