DAILY ROUTINE EXAMPLE FOR CHILDREN AGES 5 AND UNDER
I know many of you are working on building a daily routine this week.
Below you will find a sample routine by the hour for children 5 and under during summer break.
If you watched my video on Instagram yesterday you already know, idle time is not on the schedule. Even in the summer. Especially in the summer. Because idle time is the devil's playground and we are not renting him space in our homes.
This is just an example. Adjust the times to fit your household. But keep the structure. Structure is the gift. OTHER AGE GROUPS WILLBE POSTED AFTE THIS POST
MORNING
7:00 AM -- Wake up, potty, wash face and hands
7:15 AM -- Morning prayer cuddle or quiet time with mom or dad (this is connection time, do not skip it)
7:30 AM -- Breakfast
8:00 AM -- Get dressed, brush teeth, hair done
8:30 AM -- Morning movement (dancing, stretching, a walk outside, anything that gets the body moving)
9:00 AM -- Learning time (colors, numbers, letters, shapes, reading together, simple puzzles, flashcards)
10:00 AM -- Creative play (coloring, playdough, building blocks, pretend play)
AFTERNOON
11:00 AM -- Outdoor play or sensory activity
12:00 PM -- Lunch
12:30 PM -- Quiet wind down (books, soft music, calm activity)
1:00 PM -- Nap time or rest time (even if they do not sleep, rest is required)
2:30 PM -- Wake up, snack, potty
3:00 PM -- Free play (child led, imaginative, unstructured within a safe space)
4:00 PM -- Simple life skill practice (helping set the table, picking up toys, sorting laundry, folding washcloths)
5:00 PM -- Wind down and prepare for dinner
EVENING
5:30 PM -- Dinner together as a family
6:00 PM -- Bath time
6:30 PM -- Pajamas, brush teeth
6:45 PM -- Bible story or devotional (keep it short, keep it simple, make it fun)
7:00 PM -- Bedtime prayer together
7:15 PM -- In bed, lights out
This routine gives your little one security, stimulation, learning, rest, and God -- all in one day.
They will not remember every activity. But they will remember that their days felt safe and predictable. And that is what you are building.
AGAIN THIS IS ONLY AN EXAMPLE
Until next time, stay positive. 🧡
