Therapy Guide: Routine

Studies show that routines are important to the health and well-being of today's families. They bring families together and give them a sense of structure in a busy, chaotic world.

If your family is struggling with routine, a therapist can help you get back on track. Here are some ways to bring up routine with a therapist:

• “Our home is so chaotic. I really want help getting on a better schedule.”
• “We are always rushing and yelling to get things done, and I hate it. I need help.”
• “My family had no structure growing up. I want to make sure I don’t repeat that.”
• “I feel like I’m the only one managing and scheduling our life. I really need help with this.”
• “I have no idea how to fix my family routine. I feel so lost.”
