Creating a Daily Schedule

Things to consider:

• Build your schedule around routines you already have in your day

• Plan more challenging tasks earlier in the day, before they get tired!

• Consider reasonable amounts of time that any one thing is scheduled for. What can you child reasonably do?

• Don't forget breaks! You can offer a variety of options like "take five deep breaths of fresh air", or "do 10 jumping jacks" (Click here for more examples)

• Make sure to build in quiet time every day (for the kids, and for you!)

• Try to limit exposure to COVID media information
