Daily Schedule:

There are various versions of a daily schedule available. Work with your child(ren) to create blocks of time that they are engaging in meaningful activities, that considers downtime, and includes their passions! This will contribute to a sense of predictability, ownership and stability.
Screen Time:
It is important to have conversations now about screen time and set limits with your child(ren).
