I have recently recieved some amazing examples of morning schedules and weekly schedules from a few of my hard working parents. Everytime I recieve one, I try and post it with the recognition that new things are hard and we all could use some help getting started.

We can read that something works a thousand times but to actually do it takes a great deal of time and effort. I have noticed that when I have an example to work off of, I am much more likely to follow through. This usually involves me “adapting”/stealing someone else’s idea and putting my own bend on it. With that said, I hope that you out there will use these wonderful examples as a jumping off point. In doing so, you will bring your child the structure and organization that he/she needs. I like to think of these visual, numbered schedules as step-by-step checklists that bring some easy to follow and concrete order to an otherwise chaotic and confusing world.

Check this simple morning schedule out. This parent placed it on the inside of her son’s bedroom door. He reviews it when he gets up each morning, completing the routine by getting on the bus.
