Routines Help Kids Thrive

You can set your child up for success at home with functional areas for learning, play, care and relaxation, BUT - children thrive on routine. The “work” at home isn’t over when you declutter and minimize - it just started!

Your home can run at maximum efficiency when you establish good habits, routines and systems - simplifying and minimizing only makes doing this less frustrating and less stressful. It’s also easier to take care of and gives you time back in your routine to be more intentional with what you’re spending it on.

Routines help kids:

⭐️ Feel in-control of themselves and their environment
⭐️ Feel comfortable, safe and secure
⭐️ Know what’s happening now and in the future
⭐️ Engage in activities and tasks familiar to them
⭐️ Adapt to new changes and be flexible

It’s not about going from having no routines (or very loose ones) to going to a very rigid, by-the-hour schedule; it’s about tweaking what’s working for you at home, and adjusting it as you figure out what works best for your family.
