Routine Pictograms for Children of All Ages!

Kairos' pictograms are easy to use for children who can read and write as well as for younger learners. Each pictogram has a drawing and text to help understand the specific task. 

Don't worry about the younger ones who can't read yet. The pictograms are well detailed and the task pictures are easy to understand. You can also use the pictograms to practise reading with your children! This is a great way to develop your child's reading skills and see their improvements.

Why pictograms for Routine?

Routine pictograms can be very helpful for parents who have difficulty with children's daily routines. A routine using pictograms reduces parental stress and helps children remember all the tasks they have to do.  

Here are the reasons why routine pictograms help life at home:

  • Children are easier to manage when a nanny is looking after them. A to-do list is made by parents before leaving.
  • Gives children a sense of repetition. A well-established routine helps children reduce their grumpiness.
  • Routine pictograms help children to be more independent and perform tasks on their own, without mom or dad asking!
  • This tool helps reduce the number of times parents have to repeat requests.

More Independent Children!

Help your children become more independent with routine pictograms. For example, do a dressing routine in the morning: this will help them get dressed on their own. It is important  to teach them to develop their independence at a young age, to prepare them to face different challenges in everyday life. Also, by stimulating them regularly, children are generally less anxious!

Choose routine charts that are perfect for your children! Whether it's mornings before school, weekends or evenings before bed, we have a routine that can suit you and your child's needs.

When and Where to Use the Routine Pictograms?

Routines with children are difficult to implement at home: parents often have to repeat several times before the child develops autonomy, which can create a negative environment. Instead, focus on a fun approach based on positive parenting! Making routine into a game is more interesting and rewarding, and it stimulates and encourages children to do what they are asked to do. Routine pictograms can be used in any setting to help children remember the tasks they need to do. Use the pictograms to make routines fun and rewarding for kids! 

Many professionals working with children use our pictograms to enhance their work. The pictograms can be used by anyone to remind them of the steps in a routine. Here are some examples of professions that use Kairos' pictograms with great results:

  • Daycare workers
  • Elementary school teachers
  • Childhood therapists
  • Social workers
  • And much more!

Use the Pictograms When Children are in Childcare!

Routine pictograms can be very useful during evenings when children are being cared for by a babysitter or grandparents. It provides a sense of repetition and stability for the children and a list for the caregiver to follow. It is more difficult for children to avoid their daily homework with a to-do list. 

The key for posters and routine charts to work is perseverance!

When you start using the pictograms at home, it is important to be consistent in its application in order to develop the routine habit with your children. With a little perseverance, your children will understand that it has to be done every day and not only when they feel like it. To transmit good discipline to your children, you must be disciplined in what you ask of them!
