[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Children need structure. That's why this is so hard. Try to schedule new routines that you do every day. My kids know that at 4:00 every day we go on a family walk. After dinner we watch a movie. There are resourses online that will give you ideas of things to do with your kids. If you need to take a drive.

Since I no longer have school to anchor the day, I implement my own structure.

Outside in the yard each morning by 10am. I keep them outside for a good 2 hrs - scooters, bikes, frisbee, obstacle course, silly string chase, hide n seek, scavenger hunt, anything to keep them going, etc.

1230ish - screen time/chillax/lunch

130ish Read, cursive class, some sort of education

230ish - chores

330ish - play, facetime with grandmas, baking, facetime with their friends, games, etc

6ish - dinner

After dinner, family walk around the block, something active to get post dinner wiggles out, etc

You get the picture OP. Everything in moderation too.
 
4 kids ranging from 4 to 12. Not perfect, but not the nightmare people are posting either.
