It can be very beneficial and should make the period of home lockdown and social distancing more manageable for both parents and children if a daily routine is in place.
Below is an example parents could follow:
- Breakfast
- Appropriate screen time 15- 30 mins. for ages 3-7 – and 45 mins-1hr for ages 8 and up
- Building blocks activities 15 mins for young ones and Chapter reading for older to teen.
- Story reading 15 mins for young ones and some school work for older up to teen, even if it is a repeat of work they did already for 30 mins.
- Lunch
- Puzzles mania. Age-appropriate puzzles for all 30-45 mins
- Art activity for all- drawing, colouring, cutting, gluing 30 mins
- The categorized guessing game: Who or what am I? Each individual takes a turn doing or being someone or something that others have to guess. 30 mins- 1 hour depending on how many are involved.
- Screen time and relaxation.
- Supper.
- Evening chores-bath etc
- Create a storytime. Each creates their own story but it should be categorized and fun/dance time with music
- Family movie time.
- Bedtime
Be safe. Be positive. Be hopeful. Do your part and do it well for all of us and REMEMBER DISTANT SESSIONS ARE AVAILABLE. Keeping you in mind.
