1. Keep a family calendar.Track everyone's activities on a prominent and accessible calendar, encouraging your child to write her own entries and reference the calendar when making plans. You also might consider checking schedules and updating the calendar as a family over Sunday breakfast.
2. Introduce checklists.Whether it's as simple as "3 Things To Do Before Bed" or "What To Take On Vacation," creating and referring to lists together will develop your child's ability to strategize tasks and organize his time. A checklist can be implemented before school to ensure all belongings and supplies are brought.
3. Assign chores that involve sorting or categorizing.Grocery shopping, emptying the dishwasher, sorting photos, cleaning out a closet, and other tasks that involve pre-planning, making lists, or arranging things are great choices.
4. Get ready the night before.This one's always tough — for both of you — but it does work if you can get in the habit.
5. Use containers and closet organizers.If there's a place for everything, they will find it easier to find items, keep neat, and clean up. Build "pick up" time into the daily routine. Have child pick out funky or brightly coloured containers or storage units.
6. Buy your child a planner/ Encourage them to use APP.Have them select it or choose one that will appeal to them so they will be excited about using it. Having their own planner will encourage them to create and maintain a schedule. Be sure to routinely coordinate the information with your family calendar to avoid conflicts.
7. Organize schoolwork.Make sure your child's keeping notes, homework, handouts, and graded assignments in separate folders in a binder. Try to check their backpack nightly and set an time aside each week to go through the binder and get things sorted with them until they can be successful on their own. Have them shop for school supplies with you and select which pencil case, coloured folders or binders to facilitate their independence.
8. Establish a set homework routine.Help your child make a "study hour" schedule and set up a comfortable workspace -- whether it is their room or the kitchen table. Encourage them to stick to the schedule even with other activities going on, even if only brief period is permitted.
9. Create a homework supply box.Fill a box with office supplies and encourage your child to store pens, paper, measurement tools, and a calculator in it so they will have what they needs on hand.
10. Cultivate an interest in collecting.If your child has a particular interest, encourage them to create and organize the collection. It can even be something free — such as rocks or cancelled stamps — that they can sort, classify, and arrange.

*Always provide reward and provide support with organizational tasks.Your child may find organizing a challenge, so help them develop the routine and give them a treat for jobs well done! Encourage them to self-monitor this by integrating school work with other, more preferred activities and outline reward time after study time.
