Life Skills: Routines

Children generally feel more settled and focused when they have a routine to follow, and know the routine.  This saves everyone from many questions, many answers, many spur-of-the-moment decisions that spring from situations that don't have a routine.

If your child is a "creature of habit", it's useful to include some flexible choice time and variation into the schedule, to provide opportunities to try new things.  If your child has an unstructured or impulsive approach to life, routines help them to develop a more organized approach to life.

Here is a sample schedule shared online by @thedenverhousewife
You can use this as a springboard to develop a schedule/routine that works for your family.
