CREATING A ROUTINE
As school is fast approaching the routines from the previous year have slowly been forgotten. Routines are a large part in a child’s success. August is the perfect time to begin implementing routines for your children as it will take 2 or more weeks to begin and
adjust. Below are some tips on how to create routine.
Sleep: Sleep is key in a child’s success whether they are in school, daycare or even just around home 8-11 hours is the recommended time for a child to sleep. This allows them time to fall into a deep sleep. (sleep isn’t instant although we wished!) 12 hours should be subtracted from the wake-up time to ensure the proper bedtime 7am wake-up means bedtime should be 8pm and the routine process must begin around 7pm Prepare the night before: Prepare breakfast the night before or know what will be served, this saves you time in the morning trying to figure out what is for breakfast (having a weekly meal plan can help)
Pack lunches in the evening, this will give you less of a rush in the morning and you can have more time with the children Have set areas for the kids’ stuff and show them where it is. This will help them learn to grab their own bags but also is an easy grab and go on the rush days
Have the children bath or shower the night before so they do not have to worry in the morning, and it will be the simple stuff after waking up
Choose the children’s clothing the night before (have them help you and then do it themselves. This will help them develop independence
Wake up before the children do We all like our sleep but creating a routine means creating one for yourself as well. Waking up before the kids does not mean you have to get up hours before! It is just giving yourself time to wake-up before you have 1 or more children to look after
Wake -up 1 hour, 30 minutes, or even 15 minutes before them; grab a tea, coffee and watch tv/read a book or just lay in bed before waking them up
Create a Routine Chart Creating a chart holds both you and the child accountable for following the chart; but helps to not miss a step. Visual Charts are always a help so the child can see exactly what is expected of them and when. Below is an example:
Use First this…Then this Approach This helps when children attempt to skip parts of the routine you can let them know that before they get things, they must do the other parts of the routine first. Ex. “first we have breakfast and then we can play” or “first we do (a,b,c ) then we can watch tv” Create a routine for the evenings as well Having a routine for the evening is just as important because it makes bedtime easier. The children will also begin to understand the expectations for their evenings. Below is an example
Weekend Tips On weekends try to keep the routines similar. You may change the times or what needs to be done. As similar as the routine is
makes it easier for the kids to transition back into the weekly routines
