| Now that the school year is halfway over, finals are complete and the new semester has begun, the timing is perfect for reassessing your child's organizational skills. Evaluating what hasn't worked in the past and creating new strategies for the future can help your child stay on the organizational track.
Even the smartest students need evaluation of their organizational skills to stay on top.
Sadly, being an involved, caring parent isn't enough in today's world. Students have 50% more homework than a generation before, and parents have less time to devote to helping them. Our children are overwhelmed and struggling to keep up with multiple classes, various activities, ongoing obligations, online distractions and high expectations. Ironically, even the schools are not teaching students the all-important organizational skills needed to be academically successful.

The following three tips can help you start moving your child in the right direction.
| |
Tip 1. Work together to create a customized binder system. Collaboratively sort through the clutter and help them customize a logical method that works for them. By sharing in the process, your child will be more apt to keep it up.
Tip 2. Teach them time management skills. Procrastination is one of the key reasons for plummeting grades. Show them how to schedule their work time efficiently, allowing for recharging breaks along the way. Explain how to divide larger projects into "bite sized" pieces. The goal is to demonstrate that by planning study time ahead, more will get done in a timelier manner.
Tip 3. Develop an at-home filing system for papers, notes and old tests. Having a place to file extra paperwork is an important pattern for students to establish. This will help to lower anxieties and save time when looking for critical papers that are needed later in the semester.
