What routines/timetables ND kids for summer?

[Newsenmum]

Anyone else with kids who are obsessive about daily routine and thrive on visual timetables? How organised are your days for the next six weeks? Im exhausted already and it’s only day one!

no summer clubs here so I have some sort of outing first thing, lunch and then short blocks for the afternoon until dinner and evening routine. What sort of things do you do?

My AuDHD kid is so full on and seems to require constant structured activity ansd/or 1:1 attention. Poor second child often gets ignored!

Two of my DSs need a lot of structure. They need to know what is happening and when. A little different because they don’t go to school and some of their EOTAS/EOTIS packages continue during the holidays. We have a colour coded timetable on a whiteboard. The days don’t all look the same, but they know exactly what is happening when.

Is DC2 known to your local young carers service? They sometimes run activities/trips in the holidays.

If you haven’t already, you could look at your local short breaks offer to see if there is something suitable. You could also look at social care assessments. This might give you some respite to spend 1:1 time with DC2.

I know it sounds silly but have you got any examples of what’s actually on your timetable?

Luckily the little one has some daycare and family to see her on some days.

To give an example of today for DS1:
Morning routine - this is the same every day. It includes things like physio, meds, breakfast, dressed, etc.
Swimming - part of his EOTAS package.
SIOT - part of his EOTAS package.
(This had a note to go with it to remind DS1 two of his carers would be here when he got back and that I would be out.)
Lunch - which he declined. He is always offered food, but he rarely has anything orally because he is mostly tube fed.
Nap
Lego
Grillo - a piece of kit for people who struggle with walking. It needs timetabling, otherwise it is a nightmare getting DS1 to comply.
Sensory time - we have a lot of sensory equipment/toys DS1 uses.
Dinner - declined and had tube feed instead.
Night routine - bath, meds, physio, snack, etc.
Bed

And DS3:
Morning routine
Music practice
Escape room - I took DS2&3 to an escape room and for lunch out whilst DS1 had his EOTAS provision and carer. DS1 wouldn’t cope with this type of activity.
Pizza out
Free time at home - when he was younger, free time wasn’t detailed enough and we would have to write the specific activity. DS3 went on the trampoline.
Tennis lesson - part of his EOTIS package.
Snack and meds
Football
Dinner - we have the meal plan displayed too so they know what is for dinner.
Free time at home - DS3 went on the trampoline then read.
Night routine
Bed

DS3’s day sounds a lot but it works for him. He needs a huge amount of exercise and needs to be constantly doing something.
