I’m filling in for Lara Saunders over at Splashpress Media’s Parenting Blog. This is an assignment I took with much anticipation. After all, I’ve been writing about being a dad for quite some time now (especially on my rarely-updated J Spotter, which is supposed to be my personal blog). But the Parenting blog’s target audience is supposed to be other parents, so somehow I kind of feel more pressured because I know other parents are watching. And I’m not yet that experienced in parenting, being only at it for about three and a half years.

Anyway, do check out my posts. Here’s one about routines.

Generally, I’m a disorganized person. I’m more spur-of-the-moment rather than scheduled. I’m more adaptive rather than structured. I’m more dynamic rather than static. But of course, if it’s for the children’s good, then I would have to adjust and adopt.

Routines are important because they help instill awareness of time and enhance a child’s feeling of security, so I’m told. Routines help enhance a child’s self-confidence, especially if he or she has the opportunity to have an active role in contributing to the flow of events.

Routines don’t necessarily have to be time-based, but these can be flow- or event-based. So you don’t necessarily have to follow a strict time table, but instead you can do activities based on sequence.

Enjoy!
