Learning journey

Your child is developing important life skills — learning to manage their emotions and behavior, set and work toward goals, and build resilience to bounce back from challenges and setbacks.

Evidence of understanding

  • Create a simple plan for completing multiple tasks in a sensible order
  • Identify their own common distractions and describe strategies to manage them
  • Complete a less enjoyable task before a more enjoyable one without constant reminders

Assessment prompt

When Time and Attention Management has homework to finish but also wants to play a game, can they manage their time — doing the homework first or setting a timer — rather than always needing you to enforce it?
