I’m a huge fan of check lists and visual schedules for kids. I think it’s the former teacher in me. I’m such a check list dork that I when I make a list I even make that little box before each item just so that I can tick it off! Here are a couple of ideas to keep your family organized and running….

Schedules

A visual schedule can be read and followed by the youngest of kiddos. Consider the schedule that a teacher has in her classroom. It’s posted in an easy to see place and referred to often: “we’ll go outside for recess after reading”. Kids thrive on a predictable routine. There is comfort in knowing what to expect and what’s coming up next. Visual schedules can be helpful at home to bring a bit of structure to a wide-open time.
