How can I create a daily routine for my toddler?

Creating a daily routine for your toddler can help them feel secure and understand what to expect. Start with a consistent wake-up time, followed by breakfast, playtime, nap, and bedtime. Would you like a sample schedule?

Yes, please! What does a sample schedule look like?

Here's a sample schedule: 7:00 AM - Wake up, 7:30 AM - Breakfast, 8:00 AM - Playtime, 10:00 AM - Snack, 10:30 AM - Nap, 12:00 PM - Lunch, 1:00 PM - Outdoor play, 3:00 PM - Quiet time, 5:00 PM - Dinner, 7:00 PM - Bedtime routine.

How do I handle nap time if my toddler resists?

If your toddler resists nap time, try creating a calming pre-nap routine, like reading a book or dimming the lights. Consistency is key, so try to keep the same nap time every day.

What if my toddler wakes up too early?

If your toddler wakes up too early, ensure their room is dark and quiet. You can also try adjusting their bedtime slightly later to see if that helps.
