Would anyone be interested in a discussion about daily schedules with young kids?

Hi WorkinProgress365! Our schedule goes like this; I wake up, wake Little up, make L breakfast/serve pre-prepared breakfast, go back to my room to nap for an hour. L knows that parents sometimes need to nap a bit extra, so when L is done eating, L knows that it's alone time (L loves library books and spends most of alone time reading them or doing crafts). In my room I either sleep a bit extra, or plan/get ready for the day. After alone time, we do some one-on-one activities together, even if just cuddles, for about 30 min. Then I start my morning chores (empty dishwasher, etc). Occasionally there's a real mess, so I'll clean, but normally I prefer to clean the night before and wake up to a clean house. L always loves to talk to me while I'm doing my chores and often likes to help me clean, otherwise L will be in room coloring or something. When morning chores are done we do 1-1.5h of schoolwork (homeschooling). After actual lesson, sometimes L will do some worksheets alone while I get up to attend to other things. Homeschooling is usually done around 10am and then we usually go out somewhere, even if just a very short drive to the town center if the weather is awful. we almost always go to the park or a walk, even in not so good weather. excercise is probably the most important thing for littles well-being.

After that, we head home for lunch and then naptime. L doesn't always nap, but naptime is a daily part of our routine nonetheless and it's 2.5 hour per day. I would say L naps most days of the week, but will sometimes tell me "I didn't sleep" but stays in bed playing with stuffies the entire time

During naptime I'll do any of the online prep I need for my business, and get everything ready for the rest of the day. This usually involves looking up materials for my business, sourcing, etc

After nap time, we spent about an hour together having a snack and the doing an activity together, and after that I start working. L knows it's time to play alone and is happy to do so.

After that, it's dinner time. I used to put on TV shows during this time, but L stopped asking for that months ago. Now L helps me cook

We did have one discussion about how some shows are not healthy, mainly the fast paced ones like paw patrol and had switched to old-school cartoons long before we stopped watching altogether

After dinner, we cuddle ad read books together and occasionally play a board game. After that it's bed time

after bedtime is the only time I'll "surf" ( Youtube) but I've replaced it mostly with reading because it hinders my sleep

If I have downtime during the day, I bring my own book to the living room and we read together side by side

Just wanted to say hello, thank you for making this sub! I’m about to give birth in a couple weeks so I’d love to aim for a no surf family 💗

Hi! I just found this subreddit and am very interested in learning about hour daily schedule, Live7777! I’m a sahm with a 5 year old and a baby and I’ve realized that I’ve been a terrible model of tech usage. My daughter is addicted to electronics and I just realized I am too. Trying to figure out how I can model better habits for her.
