Why Is It Important For Kids To Learn Routines?

Children are naturally curious about everything around them. Learning about the life cycles of living things help them understand the world a little bit better.

Sense of Control

The more aspects of life a child feels in control of, the better they will behave. When a child knows the routine and exactly what’s expected, they feel safe and secure.

Reduce Anxiety

A structured routine takes away ambiguity and anxiety. If you wake up and follow the same set of steps each day without fail, there is little room for anxiety of the unknown.

Build Healthy Habits

Creating a healthy routine evolves over time into healthy habits. Those habits extend throughout childhood and into adulthood. It’s never too early to start creating healthy habits.

Less Effort

Ultimately, over time, producing the same routine every morning requires less and less thought. Soon your children will move through the morning with ease because the routine is ingrained.

How to Make This Superhero Morning Routine Chart

Step One:

Print the routine. Use cardstock, if desired. Also, laminating is an option if you’d like to have your child mark off the tasks each day.

Step Two:

Hang the routine chart somewhere that your child can easily reference it in the morning. Perhaps on the bathroom mirror, the fridge, or in your child’s room.

Step Three:

Especially before the first time you use the routine, spend some time reviewing it before bed the night before. Talk about the order of events after your child wakes up, practice how to do specific tasks, and really set the stage for morning success.

Extend the Activity

Role Play

Kids love dramatic play. Why not dress like superheroes and practice the morning routine, or use action figures to walk through the process.

Switch It Up

Once children are very familiar with the routine, have fun switching it up once in a while. Maybe you complete the tasks in backwards order.

Oral Language

Use the routine poster as a starting point for talking about the routine. What parts are going well/not so well? What can you/your child do differently?
