How can I establish a good routine for my toddler?

Creating a routine for your toddler can help them feel secure and understand what to expect. Start with consistent wake-up and bedtime, and include regular meal times.

What activities should I include in their daily routine?

Incorporate a mix of activities like playtime, reading, outdoor exploration, and quiet time. Balance is key!

How long should each activity last?

Aim for 20-30 minutes for active play and 10-15 minutes for quieter activities like reading. Adjust based on your toddler's attention span.

What if my toddler resists the routine?

It's normal for toddlers to resist change. Try to make the routine fun and involve them in the process. Use visual schedules!

Any tips for transitioning to a new routine?

Introduce the new routine gradually. Start with one or two changes at a time and be consistent. Praise your toddler for following the routine.
