Parents can begin good organization habits with preschool-age children, said Elana Spira, Ph.D., co-author of "The Organized Child" and clinical assistant professor in the department of child and adolescent psychiatry at NYU Langone. 《做事有条理的孩子》一书的合著作者、纽约大学朗格尼医学中心儿童与青少年精神病学临床助理教授埃拉娜·斯皮拉博士说，父母可以从孩子学龄前就开始培养孩子良好的组织习惯。 She recommends asking them to do small, simple actions on a regular basis. Maybe they unpack their backpacks and bring their lunch bag to the kitchen, or take their shoes off at the door and put them in a nearby closet. These won't save parents tons of time, but they will help instill good habits. 她建议让孩子们定期做一些简单的小事，比如让他们打开背包，把午餐包带到厨房，或者在门口脱下鞋子，放进旁边的鞋柜。这些并不会帮父母节省多少时间，但会帮孩子逐渐养成好习惯。 Doing small chores at a young age helps children exercise inhibition, discipline and attention, all of which they'll need later on. 在年幼的时候做一些简单的家务可以帮助孩子们锻炼自制力、自律和注意力，对他们今后有益。 When kids enter elementary school, they're ready for more responsibility. This is the time to teach them about daily routines, and help them take control over theirs. Parent and child might sit down together and make a list of everything that needs to be done to get out of the house in the morning, or get ready for bed at night. |
