Routine cards are a wonderful way to help ease into transitions such as getting ready in the morning or completing the bedtime routine, and can help reduce meltdowns for children. Using routine cards are also a powerful tool to help nurture independence, build predictability and allow our little ones to feel like they have some control.
This set of 72 routine cards will take your toddler from early childhood to the new season of schooling and responsibilities.
We also know the significant importance of maintaining routine for children with special needs such as autism and OCD. Incorporating these cards into their daily life will help ease their anxiety as the day becomes planned and predictable.
By establishing daily routines for toddlers and children, we can help build a sense of predictability, which in turn helps them feel safe and secure. It also helps prompt the movements of the day so that we can get organised, do things in a timely manner and establish structure to the day.
