It's about time you taught your kids the value of time

MANILA, Philippines – Want your kids to excel in their future careers? Teach them the value of time today.

Teaching kids the priceless lesson of time management is imparting to them an important trait in the adult world. While at first, being able to tell time helps kids know when to catch their favorite TV programs or when to come out and play, eventually they’ll be able to apply it to things like submitting their assignments on time or planning for their projects ahead.

“If we don’t train them to have good habits while they are young, they will spend the rest of their lives trying to shake the bad ones,” according to Christi Youd, a US-based time management expert. “But if you can get your child to learn the main principles, that’s a tool they can use forever.”

Youd advises parents to help their children distinguish between what is important and what is urgent.  “Important means it will help them obtain the quality of life that is most valuable to them.  Urgent just means it needs immediate attention.  Encourage them to work on the things that are important first.”

To equip children on their road to proper time management, give your young ones a watch which will surely grab their attention. Before the school year kicks off, take your kids to the nearest Kids Watch Central store located in leading department stores and let them choose the watch which they like most.

With trendy, colorful character designs to choose from, kids will be more aware of the time. There are Ben10 watches fit for active boys while Transformer timepieces are the perfect gadgets for young explorers. Little girls will love the Hello Kitty wristwatches, as fashionable gals will surely fancy the stylish Barbie watches.

Kids Watch Central is available at the children’s section of all SM Department Store branches.
