School closures and the disruption in work schedules created stress for children and families. It was a big adjustment! As we move forward to new stages during this pandemic you and your family have had to be flexible in creating new routines and comfort levels for yourselves. A new routine for you and your family, can create an anchor that everyone can benefit from. The certainty of a routine within the home can help manage the uncertainty and unpredictability of other areas of life. Routines help us to gain a sense of control, aid in our mental health, help us to cope with change, for healthy habits, and reduce stress levels. The simple idea that dinner will be at 6 pm every day, can provide a huge sense of comfort to your family.
