Knowing what will happen next is important to young children:
- It gives them a sense of security and helps them to begin to make choices
- It can help to reduce the feelings of confusion that can lead to tantrums - but there's no guarantee
- A sense of order in daily routines helps children to understand numbers and how they work, e.g. first, next
- Routines can develop around the daily loves of family members, e.g.
- Child: dressing, eating, changing, washing, sleeping
- Family: going out, coming back, appointments
- Time: morning, afternoon, evening, night
- Order: in which toys, machines, books work etc
