How to Do This Activity
Create a simple, consistent pattern for daily activities like waking, feeding, playing, and sleeping. Do these activities in roughly the same order each day. Use similar calm transitions between activities. This helps your child learn what to expect and feel secure.
Why It Works
Predictable routines create a sense of safety that is essential for secure attachment. When your child can anticipate your responses and daily patterns, they develop trust in you and their environment. This consistency helps children feel secure, which supports their ability to learn, form relationships, and manage emotions (Canadian Psychological Association, 2024).
Tips for Parents
Routines can be flexible. The goal is general predictability, not rigid schedules.
Your child will gradually learn to anticipate what comes next, which reduces stress and builds trust.
