Stick to roughly the same schedule each day. Consistency is really important to kids, so figure out a schedule that works for your family, and try to stick to it as closely as possible. That way, your child will know what to expect when each day begins. That predictability can help give them a feeling of stability and structure.
- For instance, your child should wake up and go to bed at the same time each day, including weekends.
- Have set times for things like schoolwork, chores, and even playtime.
- You should try to plan your meals so your child eats at about the same time every day, as well.
