Description: Routines give young children a sense of security and help them develop self-discipline. Children, like many of us, handle change best if it is expected and occurs in the context of a familiar routine. A predictable routine allows children to feel safe, and to develop a sense of mastery in handling their lives. As this sense of mastery is strengthened, they can tackle larger unpredictable changes without anxiety or challenging behavior. We will discuss specific benefits for children and adults when routines are consistently managed. Participants will be given strategies, resources, ideas for communication with parents, and problem solving.
