Routines, or a set of guidelines and actions you follow during the day, give your day some structure. Children typically thrive following a routine as it enforces consistency – your child knows what to expect during the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It helps develop good habits such as brushing your teeth, cleaning up or reading before bed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Routines help encourage independence and give a sense of accomplishment.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. It offers stability during stressful times.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. It helps your child get through a long day (or week) because it gives them something to look forward to.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Routines don’t have to be chores. Family game night every Saturday can also be a routine, creating a bond between your family.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
