A used to wake up every morning and ask me, "what day is today?" and then, "what are we going to do today?" We've done routine charts in the past but they turned out to be too much. Everything was on a routine card (from breakfast to bedtime), and if we missed something, A would remind me or it would throw her off. I finally came up with this idea.
The day is at the top. I choose three items that we will do, in any order for that day. We do more than this, but these three things help A know the flow of the day and what she can expect to happen next. There is a Mama or Daddy card at the bottom to tell her who is tucking her in for that night.
The chart is on the back of our kitchen door. She sees it every morning when she comes down the stairs and she checks it many times throughout the day. It also helps remind me to do at least three intentional activities with her daily. I got the routine cards on Etsy (the seller's page is no longer up), and I also used Google images for the activities that weren't included in the packet. It's working for us!
