Routine calendar for rebellious children

Has your child already entered his stage in which everything responds: “NO, NO, NO …”? Yes, it is exasperating and you definitely have to have a lot of patience to cope with it in a balanced manner. Although I must remind you that it is a normal period in which the child is experiencing how far it can go and in which parents should take full advantage to strengthen discipline not in a coercive way, but as a beneficial structure to take on the challenges of each day .

Although it seems impossible to remain calm when they are rebellious, it is a wonderful opportunity to teach them and show them that with order and responsibility they can achieve great things.
There are many techniques to “put in waist” (in good manners) to children. One of them is to keep a calendar of routines; which, since its creation, can creativity and entertainment, because you can invite your little one to make it together with you.

What to do?

The calendar consists of three panels that are: daytime activities, night activities and days of the week. As shown in the image, you can print figures that represent the tasks you must perform, such as brushing teeth, getting dressed, going to school, eating, ordering your toys, in short, what are your duties. For the panel of the days of the week will make sad and happy faces, which will be the qualifications of the performance of the child. All these elements can be lined with transparent contact paper and stick Velcro (magic closure) on the back and on each panel to be able to adhere them.

Good result

“I did not know what a happy face or a sad face could mean for my son!” A mom told me. Yes, for them it is very important, so they will be an excellent ally, without having the need to come to strong scolding or reprimands.

And although at first it may seem very challenging, soon you will see how alone or solita is going on its way and the reminder will not have to be constantly. They will win and undoubtedly you.
