Time and Attention Management
Manage their own time and attention effectively — prioritising tasks, minimising distractions, and maintaining focus on important work even when it's not the most exciting option
Suggested ages 9–11
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?
