The power (and misconceptions) of routines for children

You’ve probably heard routines are very important for toddlers, but do you know why? I welcome Jessica, a Pediatric Occupational Therapist and founder of @rootedinroutine to discuss why routines are useful and misconceptions surrounding routines. 

We discuss:

• Why routines are helpful for toddlers
• Why they are helpful for YOU
• Some non-negotiables when it comes to routines
• Misconceptions about routines
