Tending to the Time

My son continues to get in trouble for going past a deadline for something.   For instance going to bed by eleven (summer hours), stopping watching television at six o'clock, starting his laundry in an hour, or any other number of things.   The question is, is he intentionally missing deadlines or is it more complicated than that?

It has occurred to us that my son would benefit from having a watch,   It's not good to be tied to the time for everything but we're asking him to be on top of things based on certain times and he might be more successful if he had a watch.  

He doesn't need a fancy watch and in fact can't have one at school, so a plain watch with analog hands.   He doesn't want to wear anything on his wrist.  Which might make this plan fail.  We'll try out an inexpensive watch and see if it helps hin with his time management and if it does, we'll let him pick out a more interesting watch. 

The Ice Bath Children:  Both children love getting in a hot bath and then having a large container of ice delivered to them.   The ice machine we have makes small pellet ice and they have a good time doing all sorts of things with water in two different states that rapidly move to equlilbrum when brought in contact with each other.
