Many families cannot arrange their affairs in such a way that every object is always in its proper place or that every event always happens on schedule.
Here are some practical ideas for parents to create an orderly environment in the home:
-
Order your child’s clothes: Have a special place for her clothes.
-
Order toys: Make boxes and shelves available for play things to be sorted and separated.
-
Order of space: If you have more than one child and limited area, decide what goes where.
-
Order of time: Teach your child the order of time by providing some regularity to her daily life.
-
Plan your meals at the same time each day: This helps your child become sensitive to time order so that she can learn to anticipate events.
-
Keep bedtime consistent: The sequence leading up to bedtime and a bedtime story help her to anticipate a happy experience.
Such well-established habits will help make your youngster’s days more predictable!
