I am struggling to figure out if there should be some things that we should be doing every day at certain times? Like do we need a learning time, reading time, watching tv time...do you understand like some kind of structure to everyday. We have some...but I just read when she wants to read and we do other activities when she wants to do them...as far as playing play-doh, going outside and coloring...or whatever else she decides to do. Can someone help me out here...she is not in preschool or anything, so I was just wondering what your days consist of...by the way we are having another child this week..being induced...I thought I should figure this out before the baby comes. Kinda late..but when she gets into school I dont want her to be behind or anything.

TIA

Jennifer, Congrats on upcoming baby! I hope everything goes well for you and baby. I just posted a message to another member clintsue, that is above or below your post that has a typical day for my family, this might help you decide. i do schedule time and find this helps my kids, but it's not for everyone. Good luck!

As I think you should have structure, I do not think there is a certain time you have to do things.
Make a schedule that fits you all. I think that would work best then doing it when someone says it is a good time.
