How to Make a Routine for a Child
Making a routine for your child is one of the most important tasks that some people fail to accomplish. Having a set routine not only keeps the child fresh but also allows him/her in being active throughout the day. It also makes your child disciplined in every aspect of life and thus would eventually help him/her in the future.
The important thing here is not only to make the schedule but also make sure that the pre-set schedule does not bind your child and he/she has plenty of time for other things. This not only flourishes the child’s ability to manage time but also enables him/her to set goals and ensure the required hard work to achieve those goals.
Obviously, the child is not a robot so his/her formed schedule will be disrupted by uncertain events but it is important that you teach him/her how to manage in such times. One should teach the child how to set priorities as this enables him/her in ensuring the accomplishment of the task set.
You should remember that setting a routine is not easy as it appears to be. For this, you will have to do hard work and you have to stick with the child until all is good to go.

The most important thing is to discuss and help your child decide what he/she wants or consider best for them. Then help them in setting their target. This can be anything for example; a student wants to get A-grade in school.

Now is your time to think whether additional goals need to be attached with the primary goal. While trying to set additional goals, be certain that these goals are interlinked with the main goal and do not counter each other as this help create the element of ambiguity and make the task difficult.

You should start with making the schedule for whole month and see how it works out for the child. Do not forget to implant his sport schedule with other things if he/she is interested in any sport or other activities.

To refresh the child, you should also plan out a special weekend schedule to refresh your child as this not only revives him/her but also helps them in having a fresh start for next day.
