As parents, we all want to ensure that our children are healthy and happy, and that includes establishing a daily routine for them! Having a structured day will help preschoolers learn to self-regulate and develop healthy habits. Here’s a few tips to make sure your preschooler follows a daily routine.
Start the day with a plan
Having a clear schedule for the day can help your preschooler understand what to expect. This should include what activities you’ll do, naps and meals, and some down time.
Encourage structure
Make it easy for your little one to keep track of the day with a visual routine. It might be helpful to make a chart of their activities and put it somewhere they can easily refer to. This will teach them to be organized and follow daily routines.
Include transitions
Set aside time for transitions. Allow your child to transition from one activity to another without feeling rushed! This will help them transition more easily and keep them on track with their daily routine.
Incorporate play
Make sure playtime is part of the day, every day. This is a great way to teach your preschooler how to follow directions, take turns, and interact with others.
Establish a bedtime routine
For preschoolers, it’s important to establish a bedtime routine to ensure they get enough sleep. This can include winding down with a bath or reading a book before going to bed.
With a few simple tips and tricks, you can help your preschooler set up a daily routine that will help them grow and develop into successful students, adolescents, and even adults.
