[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 590299, member: 14557"] Malika, you already have stricter structure than most people. What we are trying to say is, that writing it down, or even more so, putting it to pictures for J to see, could make things easier for both of you. J is six, that basically means you are likely to do same things every day. He wakes up at morning, brushes his teeth, eats something, either goes to school or play or has some activity. Soon it is lunch and so on. Then you have weekly routines. You go buy groceries, take pup for the longer walks, J has his hobbies, maybe he goes to play with friends etc. Making a timetable that consists of those daily or weekly 'modules' so to say, doesn't mean you have to live by the clock. But to be honest, every morning you already know what kind of things you are going to do. Is it a school day? Do you need to go buy groceries or does J has some activity? Is it nice weather and you feel it would be nice to have a long walk? Then just add pictures of those things to the timetable for that day in order they will happen. And for empty places just add J's choices or Mom's choices, or calm play or rough play etc. I assume you already are feeding J several times a day. Most likely somewhat same time every day (meaning, you have probably mostly not having a lunch 5 p. m. or evening snack at 2 p. m., not that you would always have dinner 5.45 p.m. sharp every day and in any situation.) Just adding meal times in right order does make you a skeleton for a schedule. Add school and some activities that are always in the same time, rest can almost be filled with playtime for J. It doesn't have to be any more organized than that. But J actually seeing the timetable will help him to transfer from one thing to next. [/QUOTE]
