A new way to restore balance

Bass and Bear routine cards are a great way to help children become more aware and independent. The cards can help reduce the daily power struggle between parents and young children while they learn to plan activities that fit their own individual pace, routines, and responsibilities. This can give children the confidence to make decisions for themselves as they grow.

Creating calm for young children

Creating Calm

Routine cards can create a sense of calm for children by providing structure and predictability in their daily lives. Not knowing “what’s next” is often a source of anxiety for kids. Even if their routine is consistent, they may still worry about this. With a visual schedule, they can quickly look to see what to expect next. When children know what to expect and what is expected of them, they feel more secure and in control. Bass and Bear routine cards are designed to be easily understood by children who can’t yet read or are nonverbal. Visual schedules are beneficial for all children. But, they can be particularly helpful for children with Autism and ADHD.
Overall, our routine cards can provide a sense of calm for children by providing structure, predictability, and a sense of responsibility, which can help reduce stress and anxiety and promote a sense of accomplishment.
