The Power of

Predictability

Establishing routines, forming healthy habits, laying a foundation of expectation to take the guess work out of 2025! Download your January activity packet for templates, worksheets, and resources to get you started or keep scrolling for additional information and activities!

Establish A Routine 

If your house is anything like mine, mornings – especially school mornings – are the hardest. It used to feel like I was trying to cook breakfast, get myself together, dress my kids, brush hair and teeth, get shoes on and backpacks packed all at the same time…and with a timer counting down the seconds until we were inevitably running late. Establishing an AM routine – with a chart for my big kids – was the greatest gift to us all! Check out the printable AM, mid-day/after school, and PM routine charts below. 

Pro Tip: Print your preferred sheets and chore cards, laminate them, and add velcro to the back to create you own reusable routine chart!

Have you ever noticed how much kids love to help? They delight in contributing and serving – without the desire for reward.
