All families have a calendar system (right?), but few include elementary aged kids in the creation and maintenance. In order to foster growth mindset, independence, and intrinsic motivation in kids, we must be continuously on the lookout opportunities for children take responsibility with our support.
Empowering children to assist in the family calendar is the first step in teaching children organizational skills. Although most kids half-heartedly use a school planner to record homework assignments, they can rarely translate that information into how this impacts the rest of their schedule.
