Re: Do you have a summer schedule/routine/rhythm?
My kids are ages almost 10, just 6 and 4. Oldest and youngest are Level 1 ASD.
What a been working for us is rough blocks of time for activities. They know that if everyone is up and ready by 8:30 we will go to a park before it gets hot. We come home by 10:30. 10:30 to 1:30, they have various chores to do, and after that family games or free time but no screens. We usually watch a few shows or a movie in the afternoon and then might get in the pool before dinner or vice versa. We start getting ready for bed around 7:30.
The blocks of time might be rearranged if we have appointments or special events planned, but his is our baseline.
