Regular daily routine

A regular daily routine gives children a reliable structure to their day and helps them overcome reluctance and stick to routines such as getting up, getting dressed, and brushing their teeth. Regular meals together are also important because they structure the day and help children develop a healthy relationship with food. Eating dinner with the whole family gives children the opportunity to talk about their day and receive their parents' full attention. This attention is particularly important because it makes children feel loved and valued. Regular communication with parents not only promotes language development but also builds trust and strengthens the bond between parents and children. Additionally, parental attention helps children learn to cope better with stress and challenges because they are more likely to have the confidence to talk about their problems and look for solutions together. By ending the day in a relaxed manner, such as by reading a story or playing a little game, you give your child a feeling of security. Sufficient sleep is also an important prerequisite for children to start the next day rested. Consistent bedtimes support children's well-being. Overall, a relaxed daily routine reduces stress and promotes harmonious family life, positively affecting children's physical and emotional health.

A relaxed start to the day

Every child has their own rhythm when it comes to getting up early in the morning. While some children are little early risers, others like to spend even more time in dreamland. It is very helpful to plan enough time in the morning. If all family members get up a few minutes earlier, the day usually gets off to a much more relaxed start. Lay out clothes with your child the night before, to avoid morning stress over choosing an outfit. Gently awaken your child with soft light or their favorite song for a positive start to the day. Take a moment to warmly greet your child with a ›Good morning‹ and a hug. You might even bring a smile to your little late riser's face by gently tickling their nose, hand, or foot with a soft feather, thereby expressing love and support. This will give your child the feeling of being loved and supported. Cuddle up in bed with your child on weekends or during vacations, read to them or talk about your plans for the weekend. Tumbling or romping in bed are also always popular with children. These little moments of togetherness enrich everyday family life and start the day with something special.
