Dry Erase Board Calendar Uses
Things can get pretty crazy in my home, especially as I have two hyperactive children. A typical weekend for both my husband and me would be filled with activities. Unfortunately, things are always getting in the way and going wrong, so nothing ever worked out as planned, no matter how hard we tried. Just nothing seemed to go right. Then through the help of a good family friend we discovered the power of the dry erase board calendar.
We came to this decision after a Saturday that was just too much to bear. I went online and searched for ways to organize my family life and that is where I found the dry erase board calendar. To me this works like using plastic storage containers to organize your closet, only with this you are organizing the lives of you and your children.
The toughest part of using dry erase board calendars is selling the idea to your kids and getting them to use it. It’s best to sell the idea to them when they are in a happy mood as they will be more receptive and open to the idea. My approach was to pitch the concept like an advertisement. Personally I have yet to meet a child that jumps for joy at the thought of being organized, much less making a schedule of their lives. I made it a point to stress on the many times that I made them late for practice or how I forgot to pick their friends for sleep overs. The trick is to make them feel that having this calendar will benefit them more than how it will benefit you.
Due to the type of board you have the flexibility of making changes where necessary while maintaining neatness. You don’t have to mark out an activity or change a sheet, you simply erase and re-write and your work is done. It’s time to get organized. Get everyone involved by making an outline of the days in the week and what will be happening on them. Start with the important stuff, such as any sports games, practices, trips, classes, parent teacher meetings, etc..
Getting your whole family up and into the spirit is not as easy as it may sound, and they will not be open to it at all at the start. However once your family gets into the habit of using this method, you will wonder how you ever lived without one.
Do you end up forgetting things you need to do or just seem late all of the time? A dry erase board calendar will be able to help you organize your time better.
