Having a routine is hard enough as an adult… trying to figure one out for a child is even harder! Keep in mind that routines help influence good behavior. It is important to map out your day in a structured way so everyone in the home feels in control. Keep it easy, simple and fun! No need to go buy a fancy $300 calendar or chore chart; instead, get creative and make one with your child. This will help get them excited about new routines and therefore be more excited to follow them. After all, everyone loves getting praised for what they did right. Children need to be rewarded for accomplishing their own tasks too. Give them chores! It’s truly good for them. By implementing routines and chores young, your child can hopefully carry what they’ve learned into adulthood. I’m here for you mamma!
