Kids’ Discovery Parents:
It’s really, really important to keep your kids on a schedule while we are at home. It’s even good for you as an adult. We all work better on a schedule. Schedules help children know what is coming up next. I would even suggest setting a timer on your phone. This will help you know when to move to the next activity. Below, I have given a sample of a wide range schedule. You can adjust it to your need job depending on the ages of the children.
Wake up , wash up, get changed, brush teeth
8:30- breakfast – at this time we can teach our children how important it is to wash our hands, say our prayers and work on those table manner of saying please and Thank you. Then after our breakfast let them join in on cleaning up.
10:00. Let’s get out our homework or do something educational. You can read books, practice colors. Learn the 50 states. You can even ask your child what are some interesting things they would like to learn about. Memorize bible verses. Start with John 3 :16.
11:00 Free time. It’s their free time.
12:30 do some type of fun science experiment. Pinterest has tons of ideas. Go on a scavenger hunt, inside or outside. Bird watch. Plant flowers, pick up trash off the street. What ever it is, use that opportunity to teach your child about taking care of our earth.
12:00 lunch
1:30. Read a book
2:30 free time
3:30 afternoon snack
4:00 home work again
5:00 free time
6:00 Dinner. Very important to go back to old style everyone hang out talk about fears, anxieties. Just don’t forget to be thankful because we are blessed.
7:00 bath time and brush those teeth
8:00 story time
9:00 TV time.
9:30 lights out but not before our prayers.
This is just an example. It will help you now while you’re home and will also be easier on the child when they return to school or daycare.
