4 Reasons A Flexible Schedule for Toddlers Works For Me

No Comments
I love watching my kids discover new things. I love the unexpected hugs, the sticky hands touching my arm while reading a book or the smiles and giggles we share. Being a parent has changed my life for the better. I believe part of why I love being with my kids so much is due to the schedule they’re on. For me, a schedule has helped me work from home while raising two kids.

Here are four ways that scheduling my kid’s day has helped me.

Reason One – A Schedule Makes Sure I Get A Break

As much as I love being a mom, I need some alone time. The reason I love our flexible schedule is that it provides me with some much needed “me time”. I have several times during the day when I can take a break from being mom. That is a relief. I know my kids are napping or playing in their rooms and are safe. This allows me to relax for a minute and to help me be a better mom.
When my kids are around, I’m never relaxed. I’m always trying to keep them from hurting themselves and keep them having fun. The reason a schedule is so great is that it allows me to take some breaks from being a mom.

Reason Two – A Schedule Helps My Kids Get Along Better

I think a flexible schedule helps my kids get along better. My kids have their moments when they fight, they’re human. However, I believe that scheduling some time apart everyday has helped my kids get along better. They’re usually very excited to see each other and give each other an abundance of hugs and kisses. I believe this is due to the fact that they both have some time scheduled away from each other during the day.

Reason Three – With A Schedule I Can Work From Home

My flexible schedule allows me to work from home. As much as I had wanted to be a stay at home mom, my husband and I weren’t able to make that work, financially. However, by scheduling my kid’s day I’ve been able to both stay at home with the kids and work at home. I’m able to set aside time each day to get my work done and I know the kids are busy doing activities that I’ve planned out for them.

Reason Four – A Schedule Ensures I Get Time With My Husband

Our schedule allows me some alone time with my husband. My kids have set bedtimes that are early enough to allow my husband and I to have a little time together at night. I need the time to be able to talk to him while being focused and uninterrupted. Our flexible schedule provides this for us.

My kids are on a schedule and it’s worked great for us. They seem to like knowing what’s coming next in their day and what to expect. Our schedule is very flexible, so if a fun opportunity presents itself, we’re sure to stop what we’re doing and go have fun.
