We live in a fast-paced world. Sometimes the world tosses so much towards your family it would be easy to not have structure. But, in reality when we do not allow structure can make our family fall apart. We at TYRO are here to help you realize the importance of establishing structure in your family
Having Daily Routines
Setting routines within your family can reinforce positive behavior and keep everyone consistent. Studies have shown that families get along better with each other when they set routines to follow every day. Daily routines also help take away a parents’ role more often out of their daily lives, because parents no longer must tell their children what they should be doing. Their children already know that they need to brush their teeth before bed, which makes a parents’ job less stressful and reduces the risk of a child becoming frustrated with their parent because they are no longer often telling them what to do.
Creating Self-discipline
Having daily routines for meals, wake, sleep, going to school or work is crucial to a family’s overall happiness. When a parent and child spends time together, from mealtime to playtime, your ability to set routines will have a direct impact on their lives. Routines will create balance and structure in a fast-paced world. Once set in place, your family will spend less time being bored, having arguments, acting out, and annoying each other. In contrast they will spend more time getting along and sharing wonderful memories with each other.
Self-discipline will be created within your family by showing them that there’s a time and place for everything. Chores like doing the dishes, taking out the trash, cleaning the kitchen, and many others will become more pleasant and meaningful for your family throughout each week by becoming self-disciplined through establishing structure.
When your family discipline’s themselves, they naturally become a better leader. Both for themselves and others around them. As a result, your children will get along better with other children. This practice of self-discipline sets a good example for their friends. As you learn to correct yourself you will see your family’s overall wellness improve. This will also foster happier and healthier family time.
Be Flexible
Although routes are a crucial part of a family’s day, its important to be flexible. When you intentionally mix up your family’s day with fun things, children will grow in a deeper way. An example could be allowing them to stay up past their bedtime to watch a special show or movie. Routines and structure are fundamental elements of your family. As family’s grow, these will need to change and adapt to your lives. These changes shouldn’t be drastic and frequent. Rather these changes should be small tweaks to improve the structure of your family. This will ensure that your family’s structure does not fall apart.
