There you go, with this clock your children will be better organized after school :-)

Now everyone knows what to do at home and when! No more racing against the clock every night!

The after-school schedule is clearly visible, which reduces stress and shouting at home...

In addition, children are less likely to go to bed late! Of course, you can also use this clock to make a morning schedule.

Additional advice

Don't forget to print your list of activities and color each time slot the corresponding color.

Consider hanging this list under the clock to make it easy for you and the kids to read.

For example, I pick up my children at 3:45 p.m. Time to go home, we can start snack and homework at 4:00 p.m.

If your children leave school at 4:30 p.m., keep the same organization starting at 5:00 p.m. It will then be necessary to devote less time to meals, to the toilet and to quiet time before going to bed.

Normally children in primary school are not supposed to have homework... But my daughter always has lessons, poems or even words to learn, even some calculations to do. We therefore devote a little time to it every evening.

In any case, this system is really great for organizing the schedule after school! I hope it helps you organize your time as much as I do :-)
