These two days we were putting routine back to our kids' lives. We have decided that we will go and stroll in the park. We will let the dog out in the lease free park . and the boys can play at the big open field. Healthy lifestyle starts young and it is a good way to get rid of the excess energy my boys have. So far the arrangement is quite okay.
At night, we will have our dinner at 6.30pm and after that they will have free and easy time till 7.30pm. Everyone will have to do reading or homework together at the dining table. The children actually welcome such measures since they can concentrate and do their homework. For us, I can see a big difference in Joe's attitude. He used to be rather frustrated with boys who will find all means to delay doing work and he seemed to scold them all the time since he felt rather frustrated with their behaviour. For me, I am forced to be present. I used to leave the family outside while I find peace and quiet time in the room. Now I read but I am to be seated around them. Actually Joe felt resentment towards me when I stayed in the bedroom reading and leaving the chidren with him. When parents are not united in parenting role, the kids know it and wanna take advantage in getting their ways.
Routine is most important in kids'lives and I really can see the benefits of it for us all.
