320: Help Students Rely Less on Nagging and More On Themselves

8 Jun

How can students take responsibility for reminding themselves to follow through on tasks large and small? Without relying on mom or dad for nagging?

In this mini-episode Gretchen shares one of her favorite ways to get students to start thinking about reminder systems.

This includes a brainstorm where you guide students through the following:

  • Make a list of ways they can remind themselves to follow through on tasks
  • Discuss the pros of each reminder system, thinking through what kinds of reminders they might work for
  • Discuss the cons of each reminder system, thinking through what kinds of reminders this system might NOT work for
