A bit of advice! My 17 year old daughter is
struggling to manage her time and make priorities.She is very busy, plays lots
of sport, does Army cadets and has a part time job all day Sunday. She is therefore busy everyday after school so doesn’t get home till 6 most evenings, and 2 days a week not till 9, plays sport most Saturdays and works on a Sunday!
She is in her last year of school and coursework is due now or will be soon, she has mock exams in February then A levels in June. She is dyslexic with and so learning etc are hard for her.
She is beginning to get stressed about her school work, as coursework is due in and she is having to ask for extensions for other school work. My husband and I have spoken to her dropping some of her activities and possibly stopping her job until after exams etc but she is refusing to give up anything.
So any advice on how we can help her navigate the next few months, help her see what she needs to prioritise to help her through her A levels and perhaps help her see she can’t do everything.We are not expecting or putting pressure her to get fabulous grades but she says she does want to go to university and so to do that she does need to work hard to get there and she won’t be able to do that with all the activities she is doing (We are not pushing her to go to university it is very much her choice). I want to support her and help her realise she can’t do everything rather than TELL her she can’t do something, as she will have to learn to this herald going forwards! So any advice welcome!
