Navigating Kids’ Routines: Tips for Caregivers

Routines are a series of steps that repeat regularly—some happen daily, while others happen in certain situations. But what happens when those routines get interrupted? In the newest episode of the Young & Healthy podcast, host Kate Setter talks with Dr. Alex Nyquist, a pediatric psychologist at Cincinnati Children’s, about how life’s changes can help shape routines and help kids grow. 

Listeners will learn how to develop routines to fit their child’s needs, how bedtime routines change over time, and why interruptions are a natural part of development. Dr. Nyquist also shares tips for re-establishing routines after vacations or big changes, preparing for summer, and even discusses whether routines can ever become too strict. 

No matter what your podcast routine looks like, tune in and discover how to keep growing, adjusting, and moving forward!
