There's a few things (generally speaking) as teachers and parents that we know:
- kids thrive on routine
- they like to be involved in the decisions that impact them
- they like to know what the day will look like and what's happening next
- using multiple ways of getting your point across is effective
This is where the First Then Visual Schedule comes into action!
The First Then schedule is a PDF that you will print yourself.
Simply print off the schedule, laminate, cut and attach magnetic strips or blutac so they can be easily moved between transitions. We actually have the whole set displayed on our fridge and use it everyday!
First Then schedule increases independence, supports transitions throughout the day and decreases tantrums because the happenings of the day are not a surprise to your child.
For instance it's no surprise that 'FIRST we will play and THEN we will go to the toilet'
So are you ready to reduce the tantrums from your home? Use our tried and tested (in the classroom and at home) First-Then Visual schedule set with over 125 cards to get you well on your way!
