Incorporate your child’s preferred activities, which can increase focus, motivation, and engagement throughout the day. Consider the timing you think would be best for your child.
Review the schedule with your child in the morning or the evening before. Schedules can also benefit you, as the caregiver, by helping you plan your own day and accomplish the items on your to-do list.
Creating a daily plan with clear timeframes also can help increase your child’s independence and help them plan and prepare for transitions throughout the day. Schedules are important when creating consistency and structure for your child.
