Example of a simple routine for families:
7am healthy breakfast, brush teeth, comb hair, get dressed
8am children off to school, parents off to work, training or volunteering; for example, at their child’s school
12 noon lunch time
3pm have after school snack, do homework & family contributed chores
5-6pm have dinner, family time play games
8pm-9pm brush teeth, bath, read book and bedtime
Children thrive in environments where they know what is going to happen next, daily routines are a great way to ensure consistency in your home.
It is important to know where your child is, what your child is doing and who they are with at all times.
