What kind of family are you? versus
You feel best when you wake up & go to bed at the same time every day. Most members of the family work best within time limits. Family members are encouraged by tasks done on time. There is little deviation in the day to day life of the family. There are very few spur of the moment trips & interruptions. Daddy’s work hours and days off are consistent. Meals can be served at the same time every day.
You wake up at approximately the same time every day, but will sleep in later if you’ve had a later evening. Time constraints tend to produce foul moods. Finishing a task supersedes the amount of time it took to do the task. There are many spur of the moment happenings in the course of a day. (drop-ins, trips to the store, impromptu outings with Daddy) Daddy’s schedule is ever-changing. Meals times are also ever-changing.
START HERE 1. Grab pen & paper. 2. Write down what you do as you do it. 3. Compile your list into an easy to read format. 4. Follow your “schedule” and tweak as needed. 5. Remember, this schedule is not set in stone!
Making Your Schedule Stick! Start here Morning, Afternoon & Evening Routine Add in Routines that repeat weekly
Keeping the House Clean
RECAP Figure out what kind of family you are…Schedule or Routine. Find a daily basic plan that works for your family by starting with the natural rhythm of your day. Once you have practiced your plan for a sufficient amount of time, add in a weekly repeating routine, one component at a time. If you find something that is not working for your family, revampit and try again. Give it time. Don’t become discouraged! Persevere!!!
