Routines … does your family have them? Whether it’s a morning routine, meal time routine, or weekly routine, routines can help make things easier for parents and caregivers, and kids too!
- With routines, transitions (both big and small) become more fluid. When you implement a routine into your child’s daily schedule, they are able to anticipate what will happen next. This provides them with a sense of security, confidence, and control.
- Routines help to foster responsibility and independence. From brushing their teeth in the morning to taking off their shoes before each class at The Little Gym, simple daily routines will help your child gain a sense of independence and determination.
- Routines help to teach cooperation. When your child knows what to expect, there is less wiggle room for power struggles, temper tantrums, and breakdowns.
So, whether it’s time for your child’s bedtime story or their weekly Little Gym class, having routines will help your child now and in the future.
A new season at The Little Gym of London also brings new friendships, new fun, and new skills to achieve. But it’s so much more than just fun and games.

But, according to The National Physical Activity Plan Alliance (NPAPA), only 1 in 4 children in the U.S. gets enough physical activity. Physical activity is proven to have countless benefits for children, including increased confidence and mental functioning to help them become well-rounded super-kids!
