A healthy daily routine is important in a child's development, and in providing a healthy environment for family members. Unfortunately, when the COVID-19 pandemic began, the routines of children and families were disrupted. "My Quarantine Routine" promotes maintaining a healthy, scheduled lifestyle for children and their families. "My Quarantine Routine" illustrates, through its characters modeling healthy behaviors, how to maintain a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition, exercise, outdoor activities, coping skills, adequate sleep schedule, and positive social interactions.
The book includes a worksheet for children and their families to complete, which encourages them to think about their daily routine and to be mindful in maintaining a well-balanced lifestyle. It also encourages families to think outside of their norm and try adding new activities into their daily schedule. "My Quarantine Routine" is a great social emotional tool for children, parents, teachers, school administration, and mental health professionals to assist children with managing their schedules during unpredictable times.
