But routines help kids learn good habits - for everything from healthy eating to doing homework.
To set up a routine, my family made a schedule together.
Some things, like eating breakfast and brushing teeth, we put on the schedule every day.
But we also planned for fun things to look forward to like family game night and a special treat each week.
Now, my child knows what to expect each day.
Making our schedule was easy, and it's really made life better.
We pack lunches after dinner and pick out clothes before bed, so getting off to school the next morning is less hectic.
Following a routine at home has been great practice for following a routine at school!
Our schedule helps my child feel comfortable and confident.
That gives him the freedom to explore the world and learn new things.
And there's nothing boring about that!
