No More Hassles

Reduce morning and night time hassles by helping kids plan. A visual chart for kids saves time and headaches!

Make a list of the tasks you need your child to complete whether it be getting ready for school or getting ready for bed. Be specific so that the expectations are clear to your child. If you want your child to wake up on their own using an alarm clock, be specific and include your expectations in your list.  To help your child understand your expectations, use pictures!


Cut out pictures and label them with words, then put them on a piece of poster board. If you don’t want a poster you can put them on index cards and put them on a book ring.

For example you could take a picture of your child waking up and label it "Good Morning!"



"Good Morning"

 Like the classroom rules posted below you can do morning or night time routines the same...cut and paste pictures with words



In the beginning teaching a child to follow a picture schedule will take a little bit of time and patience. They may need reminders to help them stay on task. Eventually your child will be able to follow a schedule without be reminded of what to do next which means smoother transitions!
