Pediatrician explains the importance of family routines
Every family needs routines. They help to organize life and keep it from becoming too chaotic. Children do best when routines are regular, predictable and consistent.
One of a family's greatest challenges is establishing comfortable, effective routines. Ideally, they should achieve a happy compromise between the disorder and confusion that can arise without them, and boredom that can come with too rigid a structure that offers children no choice and little flexibility.

- Weekday mornings
- After school
- Evenings
- Bedtime
- Weekends
