Establish routines from "summary" of How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t with Your Kids by Carla Naumburg
One way to create a more peaceful and harmonious home life is to establish routines. When we have routines in place, we are able to move through our days with more ease and predictability. Routines provide a sense of structure and stability for both parents and children. They can help us feel more grounded and in control, even when life feels chaotic. Routines can also help reduce power struggles and arguments with our kids. When everyone knows what to expect and what is expected of them, there is less room for negotiation and conflict. Routines can help streamline daily tasks and make them feel more manageable. For example, having a morning routine can help get everyone out the door on time without the stress and drama of last-minute scrambles.
Routines can also help foster a sense of connection and togetherness within the family. When we have shared routines, we have opportunities to bond and create memories together. For example, having a regular family dinner time can create space for meaningful conversations and quality time spent together.
However, it's important to remember that routines are not meant to be rigid and inflexible. They should be adaptable to the changing needs and circumstances of family life. It's okay to deviate from the routine occasionally or make adjustments as needed. The goal is not perfection, but rather a sense of predictability and consistency that can help make life a little bit easier for everyone.
By establishing routines, we can create a more peaceful and harmonious environment for ourselves and our children. Routines provide structure, reduce power struggles, streamline tasks, foster connection, and create a sense of predictability and consistency. While routines should not be rigid, they can help us navigate the ups and downs of family life with more ease and grace.
