Description
Does your child…
- Delay doing his school work?
- Say things like, “I’ll do that later,” or “I just don’t feel like it right now.”
- Pull things out of her backpack to be signed in the morning as the bus is pulling up?
- Arrive late to scheduled events because he didn’t get ready in time?
- Put off chores until they pile up to unmanageable levels?
- Have a disorganized bedroom, desk, locker, or backpack?
- Ignore you when you emphasize the importance of getting things done in time?
- Make excuses for her inaction?
Procrastination is actually a coping skill that helps us handle negative emotions about a particular task. When we say negative emotions, we mean things like worry, boredom, frustration, self-doubt, insecurity, and all kinds of other yucky stuff. For example, if your child has to do homework and the thought of that is frustrating or boring, then procrastination (or putting it off) helps them feel good now, in the moment. Fascinating, right? Procrastination is really about delaying feeling bad so you can feel good right now!
There are all kinds of situations where kids might procrastinate:
- Large projects with no clear starting point
- Having to do chores or household responsibilities
- Starting or completing homework
- Difficult conversations
- Performances where failure is a fear
No matter the unique cause, if procrastination is the effect, then GoAction! can help.
