[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 562587, member: 3907"] Structured doesn't have to be rigid or regimented. Judging by the pandemonium usually underway in my house on an average weekend you wouldn't necessarily be able to spot the structure, but it's there nonetheless. For example: Sunday afternoons, the children have lunch, then Play Time, then dinner, then baths. The time of day is fixed, but what they get up to is total chaos. But since they have a predictable schedule, they're less antsy about what to do with themselves. Also, they know that if they don't find something to do, I will find something for them to do and they will not enjoy it nearly as much. (Would you rather Go Outside And Play In The Yard, or Fold Towels?) [/QUOTE]
