[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 435519, member: 84"] Malika That's why my routines weren't set per time, but in order. Example: wake up make the bed dress breakfast check bookbag go to bus stop wait for bus After school: check bookbags for papers and assignments about a half our relax time homework supper chores pick up toys bath brush teeth bed Now other things could occur in there.......but things were pretty much always done in order even if the times weren't the same. I had a morning routine. Once that routine was completed it was playtime or whatever. For those not in school there was an afternoon routine.......naptime, quiet time with a book......the after school routine......and the after supper routine. I found that even if something threw a wrench into one of the routines during the day like interrupting them until after supper........making sure to follow through with the bedtime routine was critical to help him wind down and relax for bed. And like keista says, after a while it's good for you because you just Do it after a while......not much thinking involved. If you use the order method.......it fits better with more flexible schedules. My easy child uses the order method due to her and her husband's work schedules. Nichole tends to use both time and order in her routines as she doesn't need to be as flexible. And as you can see.......my kids obviously carried on the routine thing with their own kids. lol Because all kids are more comfortable with some sort of routine in their lives. It helps make them feel secure. [/QUOTE]
