I agree with this!  Keeping bedtimes, changing into clothes during the day and pajamas at night, and keeping regular mealtimes have helped.  We don’t do no screens, but we do keep up with a eat, work, play, rest routine that worked when they were babies, and still seems to work as elementary schoolers :).  [/quote]

+1. No screens except for schoolwork during the week and keeping to a reliable schedule for meals, bedtime, free play and chores means that lazy weekends and extra movies still feel like a treat. Daily family walk pretty early in the morning and lots of yard time. On the days when I’ve let the schedule slip, I almost instantly see my youngest start to get moody. I have to say, “I don’t know,” to so many of their questions that the consistent schedule is a major source of comfort for them, I think.

Kids have been playing together a ton, and so nicely, which is probably the biggest help.

We have a bunch of craft supplies that they have been enjoying. A big yard is a blessing. I’ve been letting them dig a hole and they have games made up around it.
