Looking for Daily Routine Charts for Kids? You’re in the Right Spot!

There are a bazillion charts for kids on Amazon right now, which can feel overwhelming when there are too many choices and you aren’t sure what kind of chart will help your kids best.

Don’t worry, I’ve weeded through pages and pages of routine charts and narrowed the list down to the easiest ones for kids to use and follow.

I’ve got your back.

Our family follows a daily routine, and we have since my oldest twins were two months old.

My kids feel comfortable when they know what’s going on each day, and it builds their confidence when they can independently follow a routine chart without a parent nagging them to pick up toys or get dressed into pajamas for bed.

When we get off our well-planned routine, there’s definitely a difference in their behavior, and most often, this is when big emotions strike.

We’ve used a clock-based routine and as they’ve gotten older, switched to a flow style routine and adjusted our schedules based on the amount of sleep kids at every age need, the number of naps, if they go to school, etc.

If you want to talk routine, I’m your gal.

 

Why should you use one of these brilliant kids charts?

My twins are 7, and my youngest daughter is 3.5, so I’ve been through every style of routine and age. I’ve vetted all the routines on this list to make sure they can help kids no matter the age – toddlers, preschooler and elementary school age.

I’m a critic of many routine charts and will only share with you, the best charts for kids I’ve found that I know to be useful and not overly complicated for kids to follow.

Routines don’t have to be stiff and inflexible, they can follow the clock or go-with-the-flow but the most important thing to have structure during the day  and let kids know the daily flow from waking up until going to sleep without big surprises.

Kids who don’t have a routine, have a tougher time switching gears and going through the many transitions points. Children thrive from the consistency of a routine.

 

The Good Stuff: Benefits for Kids of Having a Routine to Follow: 

  • Kids feel safe knowing what to expect next
  • Builds confidence when kids understand what’s coming next and can respond in appropriate ways
  • Handle transition points without big emotional outbursts or toddler tantrums
  • When you stick to a routine, it allows you to make sure you aren’t over-scheduling the day
  • Kids get to play a role in making choices for activities during open times in the routine instead of being told what to do

How you create your routine for kids is up to you, but you can trust me, these daily routine charts are the best I’ve found out there to help your family find balance.

Routine cards are a HUGE hit in our house and tremendous help to my son who likes to look at his cards in the morning, and several parts of the day as a reminder of what’s coming next. We add chore cards into the routine so he knows what responsibilities he needs to tackle like making his bed, putting away toys, etc. The visual aid is a huge help to building independence.
