I WILL FOCUS ON THE THREE Rs: ROUTINE, RULES AND RITUALS
Routines make children feel safe and grounded. If they know what the rules are then they know what is expected of them. Create your own routines that work for you. What worked for your mother may not necessarily work for you. It may not be possible to eat all three meals at the table, but you can make dinner time a family affair. Or maybe your children will recall fond memories of creeping into your bed on a Saturday morning with biscuits and coffee…
Remember, every child needs rules – for their own safety and their development, and to make sure that they integrate well into society.
