“We are what we repeatedly do” – Aristotle
Some people associate the word “routine” as an activity that is forceful and repetitive. Some define it as “an unchanging set of actions that need to be done at any cost.” Parents who see routines from such a perspective will surely be hesitant to create one for their children. But, in reality, developing routines can be really important for your children to not only succeed in school but also in their everyday lives.
Keep reading to understand how building a daily routine with your child can help them learn and grow.
Creates Structure in their life
All of us take comfort in a sense of structure. Our children are no different. Even though their lives are filled with loads of fun and chaos, children like it when certain aspects of their daily lives are familiar to them and easy to do. If children are subjected to too many unpredictable scenarios on a daily basis, the unfamiliarity will itself pull down their confidence level. Try including a few simple household chores as part of their daily routine – arranging their toys properly after playtime, cleaning vessels after lunch and going to bed before 10 pm. These simple acts can help our children become responsible adults in future.
Helps Build Good Habits
The main objective of getting your child to follow a routine is to inculcate good habits in them. Young children generally have the tendency to involuntarily build up habits without them even realising it. For example, if you keep waking up your child at 6 am and take them for a walk, they start following it even after becoming grown-ups. Waking up early and going for a walk is a really good routine and in the long run, it becomes a really great habit.
One more point to make note of is that a routine isn’t just made of dos. It is a combination of both dos and don’ts. Parents need to make sure that they keep a constant check on their child’s behaviour and negate some bad habits right at an early stage.
Makes them Independent
In a way, routines help our children practice certain things again and again until it becomes a habit for them. Simple actions such as tying their own shoelaces, packing their school bag, and getting dressed for school, can all be taught to them by making them practise on a regular basis. These are actions that will develop your children into well-mannered and independent individuals.
Helps develop Time Management skills
All of us struggle to manage our time and daily activities every now and then, and children are no different. But what we as parents need to do is – help our children prioritise tasks based on urgency and importance and complete them on time. This is a great skill to possess as a child. It will help them in the long run in their personal and professional lives as well. Also, make sure that you insist your children give their 100% in each and every task they have at hand. Within the specified time, children need to be encouraged to give their cent per cent so that they can gain positive outcomes from the activities they do.
In our busy lives being parents, it is often difficult to find time to get our children involved in their scheduled activities and habits. But by having a daily routine for your child, you can help them develop good habits and foster a healthy lifestyle.
Children need structure in their lives. A well-structured routine will help your child develop strong habits and positive behavioural patterns. It will also help them achieve their goals and attain a sense of satisfaction. By establishing a daily routine, you will be able to help your child grow into a healthy and successful adult. We strongly believe that the above-mentioned pointers will encourage you to build a healthy routine for your children. All the best! 🙂
