How to avoid the "side effects" of activity? The answer is simple — create a toddlers daily schedule and make sure to stick to it!

Considerable Components of the Daily Schedule

If for many adults, the routine is a depressing factor, for toddlers, it can become a real salvation from an excess of emotions and impressions.

A schedule is a guarantee of sufficient activity and the prevention of overwork. With its help, you will rationally distribute the load during the day and week and accustom the baby to a repetitive sequence of actions.

What should be in a child's daily schedule? You can compose it based on your family's rhythm and personal preferences, but the basic points are as follows:

• Awakening;

• Hygiene procedures, dressing;

• Breakfast;

• Morning games or walk and snack;

• Dinner;

• Daytime sleep;

• Rise and snack;

• Evening games (for example, shapes and colors games and other projects from Bimiboo) or a walk;

• Dinner;

• Hygienic procedures, preparing for sleep;

• Night sleep.

Repeating the actions indicated in the schedule day after day, you and your child will quickly get used to it and stop using reminders.

Schedule Benefits for Toddlers and Parents

A daily routine helps children develop an understanding of time and skills to manage it. It is a key moment in preparing for kindergarten and school. In addition, it will be easier for you to explain why you can’t play or watch cartoons “one more minute.”

The schedule will help make the baby more diligent and prepare them for possible changes that are not dependent on them. Finally, thanks to the planned preparation for sleep without moving and noisy games, the child will learn to fall asleep calmly, avoiding overwork.

Of course, the schedule will please the parents too. You will know what to do with the child at a particular time and reduce the number of whims and tantrums associated with fatigue.
