The Key to More Joyful Days with your Child Part 2
Every child is unique, which means they will each have different preferences and different ways of operating in the world. However, something that is true for all children is that rhythm and routine create a sense of safety and security, and are incredibly beneficial to a child's wellbeing. In today’s episode, which is part 2 of the previous episode (go and have a listen to that one first, if you haven’t yet), Chinyelu runs through an example of what a day in the life for you and your child could look like if you put some simple daily rituals into place. Chinyelu shares many wonderful ideas for creating consistent daily rituals that will not only benefit your child but you as well. From your first interaction in the morning, through lunch, to your final moment with them in the evening; each one plays an important role in establishing your child’s foundation and their relationship with you.
