Routines are actions that we regularly do at a particular time and in a fixed order. Children typically have several daily routines for morning, mealtime, bedtime, etc.

For example, a morning routine may include waking up on time, brushing teeth, having a bath, eating breakfast, and leaving for school.

Routines let children know what’s coming their way. As a result, routines can help children get excited and prepare for joyful occasions like playground time.

Routines help children build self-control by reducing impulse behaviour and hyperactivity. It also fosters self-discipline.

Children benefit from routines because the practice of repetitive teaching at various times of the day helps them learn easily. Also, a child's sense of accomplishment is magnified when they can do tasks independently.

Routines are likely to decrease children's challenging behaviours and boost their interest in education.

Routines are helpful for parents as they make them feel calm and relaxed, which reduces their nagging towards their children.
