optimize your scheduled routines with kids for more joy and satisfaction each day

Step 1: List out your typical routine with your kids (See my example below)

Step 2: Evaluate your routine using these questions:

• Did we get everything?

• Is there anything that’s not serving us, that we want to remove?

• Do we have rituals of connection?

• Is there space for flexibility?

• Does this look fun?
