Attention, parents! Do your little ones love and excel at gymnastics and academics, as well as other enriching activities? Do your children have trouble managing their time? At The Victors Gymnastics in Greece, New York, trainers believe in the power of time management, especially in the world of girls' and boys' gymnastics. With successful time-management skills, your children will be able to accomplish a large amount while prioritizing healthy eating and sleeping habits. So, how can your children learn how to manage their time successfully? 

Below, the trainers at The Victors Gymnastics explain how:

  • Have Your Children Keep A Planner: If children start planning their days at a young age, this healthy habit will most likely stick with them throughout their lives. Have your children begin by blocking out slots of time for different activities, like competitive and recreational gymnastics. Then, have your children block out time for rest. Once they get the hang of scheduling, they may choose to take notes. Do your children feel as if they are spending too much time doing one activity? Not enough time doing another? Teaching children about flexible, intuitive scheduling is so important, because it helps them honor their needs.  
  • Encourage Your Children To Set Goals: Each month, have your children make a space in their planner to set monthly goals. What are their gymnastics-related goals? What are their academic goals? Their goals concerning friendships and self-growth? If your children dream of excelling at advanced tumbling classes, help them break this goal down. How many weeks or months will it take for someone to reach this level, and what moves will be the most challenging to learn? When children learn to set goals at a young age, they become more aware of themselves and their surroundings. This awareness will help all children cultivate a strong gymnastics practice. 
  • Help Your Children Find Their Most Productive Time: When your children identify the time of day they are most productive, you can help them schedule more challenging activities during that time. When your children are feeling less productive, that may be a good time to rest, restore, and refocus. With busy, gymnastics-filled weeks, it's important for children to learn how to rest and rejuvenate. Self-care is also an important skill that, in the end, will help each child's athletic performance. 

So, parents: if your children are diving into gymnastics, academics, and other enrichment activities at full-force, it's time for them to learn time management. By cultivating organized, goal-oriented, and healthy lives, your children will not only excel—they will also feel empowered.
