Home schedule

ESTABLISHING A BREAK SCHEDULE

Idle hands are prone to trouble. Here is a template your family can use to get some ideas on how to stay busy during this season. 


One schedule is write-in only while another is large for inserting the given icons in case your kids are too little to read. 

For families of multiple children, we recommend making a "Special Day" schedule. What this means is you have

"SPECIAL DAY" ROUTINE

Now would be a good time to introduce a "special day" routine for your family.


This is especially good for families with multiple children who often compete for attention.


Give each kid a certain day that's their "special day". (I.E. Your oldest gets Monday, while the younger sibling gets Tuesday) On their special day they can: 

  • Choose what movie the family will watch
  • Pick what everyone will eat for lunch
  • Choose the board game on family game night
  • No chores for the day
  • Video game/device privileges for the day [Experts recommend no more than 1hr/day]

This is your house so you can make the "special day" rules!
