Home Routines Help Children Be Successful At School Children thrive in a predictable environment, where mealtimes, nap times, play times, school times are dealt with consistently. Try to create a nurturing, flexible, and positive environment where a child's needs are met through his/her daily routines. Daily routines provide wonderful opportunities for children to learn more about themselves, the world, and other people. Daily routines offer children a sense of stability and a feeling of caring from their parents. Routines need to be responsive to the individual needs of each child. |
