FREE daily rhythm cards - Montessori Inspired!
Do you like to know what to expect in your day? So do kids.
In fact, children ages 0-6 experience this desire much more strongly than adults because they are in a sensitive period for order.
What are ways you can support them in this?
create a visual schedule - this allows them to feel a sense of security seeing what to expect that day and independence to know what to do next.
follow a flow in your day that is similar everyday. - not a rigid schedule but a flow followed in sense by the child not adult.
give verbal warnings before change of activity/transitions.
I’ll like to always keep it real with ya’ll! We used ours a lot when we moved and we’re getting into a routine. Now we rarely refer to it because our flow has become natural and it seems he knows what to really expect. You don’t HAVE to have a visual schedule to support your child in their sensitivity to order.
I have made these printable rhythm cards for you all to print and make your own pictorial schedule if you want them right here!
