Parenting tip – Remove the plastic from a cheap clock and colour different segments of the ‘hour phase’ to signify different activities for your child to manage independently.

Red – reflection on the day at school, chat with parents and planning for tomorrow. Getting bag ready, books, preparing lunch any homework etc.

Orange – free uniterupted time to choose anything they’d like to do. Preferably outside (Not an iPad)

Yellow – helping the family prepare for dinner. Cooking, cleaning, chopping, laying table etc.

Green – washing, bathing, brushing teeth, listening to music, turning on soft lighting and all tech away and off to get ready to go to bed.

Blue – reading in bed and preparing for sleep!

Try it!!
