A daily schedule for kids gives them structure, helps them feel rooted and teaches them important time management skills. Needless to say, however, any concept of “normal” has gone right out the window due to COVID-19. Facing unprecedented stay-at-home orders and school closures, many parents (us included!) have been left wondering how to best fill the time for kids thrown out of their normal school-year routine. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you establish a semblance of normality and comfort at home, we’re sharing a daily schedule for \u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kids \u003C/span>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that many Nurture Life parents are using as we ourselves adjust to sheltering in place.

So write these tasks out and put them first! If you’ll have a conference call every day at 9am or if your older kid has an assignment due at 5pm and can’t help with your littlest one, try to schedule independent play during those hours. Maybe it’s setting your baby in a bouncer, letting your toddler create a playpen fort or putting on your kid’s favorite learning program. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everything will get done on time (and that’s okay!).
