Teaching time management skills to pre school kids

 Teaching time management skills to preschool kids can be challenging, but it's an important life skill that will benefit them in the long run. Here are some tips to help preschool kids learn time management:

  1. Establish a routine: Create a predictable daily routine for your child. This will help them understand what is expected of them each day and develop a sense of time.

  2. Use visual aids: Use visual aids such as pictures or a schedule to help your child understand the concept of time. This can also help them learn to anticipate what comes next in their routine.

  3. Teach the concept of time: Use simple language to explain the concept of time to your child. You can use phrases like "5 more minutes" or "we'll leave in 10 minutes" to help them understand the passage of time.

  4. Set clear expectations: Let your child know what is expected of them and when. For example, if you need them to clean up their toys before dinner, let them know in advance.

  5. Use a timer: Use a timer to help your child understand how much time they have for a particular activity. This can also help them learn to transition from one activity to another.

  6. Be patient: Learning time management takes time and practice. Be patient with your child and offer praise and encouragement for their efforts.

By teaching your preschooler these time management skills, you can help them develop a sense of responsibility and independence, which will serve them well as they grow and mature.

Living in a World Full of Demotivators

  Some days it feels like life is just one long test of patience. Everywhere I turn, there’s someone ready to remind me of what I can’t do. They don’t always shout it out loud — sometimes it’s in their silence, their smirk, the way they walk away when I talk about my dreams. I try to carry hope like a candle, but around demotivators, the wind is constant. One small comment, one careless laugh, and the flame trembles. It hurts more when it comes from people I trusted to believe in me. Family, friends, the ones who should lift me up — instead, they make me doubt myself. Living in this kind of world feels heavy. You start questioning everything: Am I really capable? Am I foolish for trying? Should I just stop here? That’s what demotivators do — they plant doubt like seeds, and if I’m not careful, those seeds grow faster than courage. But even in this noise, I’ve realized something. Their words don’t come from knowing me better. Most times, they speak from their own fears, their own li...

Life Surrounded by Demotivators: Learning to Breathe in Heavy Air

  Life isn’t always filled with cheerleaders clapping for us. More often, it feels like a crowd of demotivators stand in the front row, arms folded, waiting to remind us why we can’t, why we shouldn’t, why we’ll fail. Some are loud voices from outside — people who question, criticize, or belittle. Others are quieter but heavier: our own doubts echoing inside. Being surrounded by demotivators is like carrying invisible weights. You wake up with good intentions, maybe even a spark of energy, and then comes the remark — “That won’t work,” or “Others are better than you.” Suddenly, that spark dims. It’s not always about dramatic insults either. Sometimes it’s the constant small dismissals, the rolling of eyes, the silence when you expected support. These moments pile up, and before you know it, they’ve convinced you to stop trying. The hardest part is that demotivators can be people we care about. A friend who never celebrates our wins. A relative who constantly compares. A workplace t...

When Yelling Breaks the Home: A Mother and Child’s Silent Pain

  When a Child Watches His Mother Break The walls of a home are meant to hold love, laughter, and safety. But for some, those walls echo with raised voices, cutting words, and humiliation that leaves scars you can’t see. Living with a narcissistic husband often feels like standing in the middle of a storm—never knowing when the next thunderclap will shatter the air. For a wife, it is an endless battle between dignity and despair. For a child, it is pure confusion and silent suffering. When a husband yells, his words don’t just pierce the woman he targets—they ripple through the small ears listening from the corner of the room. A six-year-old child does not yet have the language to name “emotional abuse” or “narcissism.” What he knows is fear. What he feels is helplessness. What he learns, tragically, is that love can sound like anger and that family can feel unsafe. Humiliation is not only a wound to the wife’s spirit but also a shadow that falls across her child’s innocence. Every...
