ROUTINES FOR CHILDREN

Establishing consistent routines is incredibly important for children’s wellbeing, learning, and development. Routines provide structure and predictability, helping children feel safe, secure, and confident as they navigate their day. 

Simple routines—like regular wake-up times, healthy breakfast habits, and set times for homework and bedtime—support better focus, behaviour, and emotional regulation. At school, routines help students transition smoothly between tasks, develop responsibility, and manage their time more effectively. When home and school routines work together, children are better prepared for the day ahead and more able to engage positively in their learning. Supporting and maintaining these routines helps children thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.

Apps that support families in developing routine organisers: 

• OurHome – Free family organiser app that helps schedule routines and responsibilities.
• Brili Routines – A kid-friendly app designed to guide children through daily routines with timers and visuals.
