INTRODUCTION
WEEKLY ROUTINE CHART
Children with ADHD often act impulsively, which leads to feelings of
distress and frustration both in children and the rest of the family.
Having a routine can help manage impulsiveness and hyperactivity
because it provides structure and stability. This will help children with
ADHD feel more in control of their environment, which will help with
reducing their anxiety and stress.
To help you establish your child’s weekly routines, I have designed this
“Weekly routine chart.”
HOW TO USE THIS CHART
WEEKLY ROUTINE CHART
Write down the tasks your child performs daily. Make sure you list the
routines in chronological order to help your child stay oriented and
focused.
This is a weekly checklist, meaning you will have to print it out weekly. I
recommend you do so every Sunday to prepare for the week ahead.
After printing out the chart, put it somewhere your child can see it. Once
they complete a task from the list, they can mark it as done by drawing a
“done” sign or putting a sticker on the list. If you have a whiteboard, you
can also use magnets. That way, you don’t have to print out the list every
week.
With the help of this chart, you will help your child establish good habits
by staying focused and organized.
Every “check” mark will provide a sense of accomplishment, boosting
your child’s self-esteem and confidence. It will also make it easier
for you to provide positive reinforcement and support for your child’s
achievements.
Print out the lists, personalize the routines to your and your child’s needs,
and start with organized routines today.
Don’t worry if it doesn’t always go exactly as planned. Establishing a
routine takes time and effort, but the rewards will be worth it in the end.
Be patient and remember that success is a journey, not a destination.
I wish you the best of luck,
