- Father: Okay, so that's what happens in the morning.
- Mother: Yes, what happens in the evening?
- Son: Well, it's kind of like the same routine.
- When you hear the word "routine,"
you might think, "boring."
But routines help kids learn good habits.
For everything from healthy eating to doing homework.
To set up a routine, my family made a schedule together.
Some things, like eating breakfast and brushing teeth,
we put on the schedule every day.
- In unison: Boa, búa! - Ooh.
- Father: But we also plan for fun things
to look forward to, like family game night
and a special treat each week.
Now, my child knows what to expect each day.

- Father: Making our schedule was easy,
and it's really made life better.
We pack lunches after dinner and pick out clothes before bed
so getting off to school the next morning is less hectic.
Following a routine at home has been great practice
for following a routine at school.
Our schedule helps my child feel comfortable and confident.
That gives him the freedom to explore the world
and learn new things.
And there's nothing boring about that.
