Keeping a routine within your home provides children with stability and can help to reduce long periods of time with nothing to do. Examples of this include, continue to get up and make your bed each morning, eat breakfast together, create a schedule of activities to do for the day, and set a bedtime routine. This will allow for productivity and the feeling of accomplishment each day.

Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.
