Family schedule for the 4th week of January 2024 With all other events that was happening last week, we manage to stick as close as possible to last week schedule. Family routines set out how families organise themselves to get things done, spend time together and have fun. Routines help family members know who should do what, when, in what order and how often. Routines also let your children know what's important to your family. Studies have shown that a timetable for kids at home, will more likely make them have better mental and physical health and higher cognitive skills. A family that plays together stays together. Stay safe, stay happy. Have a GREAT week everyone. #fyp #family
