Daily routine of a preschool child: sample and advice for parents. Preschooler's daily routine

A child, accustomed to living according to a routine from early childhood, willingly follows it. It doesn’t occur to him that he can refuse to go to bed when it’s time. If he went to bed at 9 o’clock in the evening and no later than half an hour later fell asleep soundly, then in the morning you don’t have to wake him up - he himself wakes up cheerful and cheerful.

The child has enough time to get dressed calmly, and parents do not have to rush him or express dissatisfaction with his slowness. During the day, they do not waste time on repeated invitations, persuasions to sit at the table or go for a walk. The day in the family begins and ends calmly, all conflict situations related to adherence to the regime are excluded. Parents completely use the evening hours for their business.

If the rhythm in the hours of eating, sleeping, walking, and various activities is repeated day after day, then this has a beneficial effect on the state of the nervous system and on how all physiological processes occur in the body.

In preschool institutions, the regime is fully implemented. But at home (for children both not attending and attending kindergartens), it is not always observed.

It has been noticed that the lack of a proper daily routine on weekends affects the child’s condition in kindergarten on Monday: some fatigue, lethargy (or, on the contrary, increased excitability) are felt, the baby tends to sleep much more during the day than on other days...

Over the course of 4 preschool years, the regime changes slightly. The daily amount of sleep decreases somewhat, mainly due to daytime sleep. But we must not forget that a child still needs more sleep than an adult.

Sleep of a preschool child

A child under 5 years old is supposed to sleep 12.5-12 hours a day, at 5-6 years old - 11.5-12 hours (of which approximately 10-11 hours at night and 1.5-2.5 hours during the day). The time allotted for night sleep is from 9-9 hours 30 minutes in the evening to 7-7 hours 30 minutes in the morning.

Preschool children sleep once during the day. They are put to bed so that they wake up at 15-15 hours 30 minutes. It is not advisable to organize a daytime nap later - this would inevitably lead to a later bedtime at night.

A six-hour wakefulness in the afternoon is exactly the period of time during which the child will play enough to feel the need for rest.

The characteristics of a child's sleep are largely determined by the conditions of upbringing.

The need to go to bed is sometimes perceived as a nuisance; the child asks permission to play more, watch TV. Having received a refusal, he goes to wash and undress in a bad mood, fidgets for a long time, does not fall asleep, and in the morning he has to be woken up, depriving him of some of the necessary rest.

Systematic lack of sleep negatively affects the child’s mood, leads to his whims, and has a harmful effect on the state of the central nervous system.

Therefore, it is so important, using appropriate pedagogical and hygienic means, to strengthen the child’s need for sleep, to induce a feeling of pleasure when going to bed, and to teach him to fall asleep quickly without any additional influences.

What means help solve these problems?

First of all, the habit of following a daily routine developed in early childhood. Usually the child wants to somehow complete what he is doing (and this can only be welcomed). Therefore, you should warn your baby in advance, 10-15 minutes in advance, that you need to go to bed soon. And when this time comes, insist that the child does not linger.

The gradual switch from play to sleep is facilitated by the child’s habit of undressing on his own. By the age of three, a child can undress almost independently and neatly fold his clothes. Over the following years, these skills are improved.

The best clothes for sleeping are pajamas, which, depending on the season, can be flannelette, knitted or chintz. On hot days, children can sleep in panties (but not the ones they played in).

In all seasons of the year, during the day, if possible, the child should sleep in the air. If this is not possible, then he must be dressed and covered in such a way that the window, transom or vent can remain open during the entire sleep time. (The air temperature in the room should not drop below plus 15°).

It is also very important to provide access to fresh air during nighttime sleep. If in winter the room gets too cold, it should be well ventilated before the child is put to bed.

It is advisable for the child to get up immediately after waking up. It should be borne in mind that the transition from sleep to wakefulness occurs differently in children: for some it is almost instantaneous, while for others it takes 5-10 minutes to finally wake up.

Dressing yourself and fastening all the buttons is somewhat more difficult for a child than undressing. Throughout preschool age, children should strengthen the skill of dressing themselves and carefully washing and combing their hair after sleep.

Every year, in your daily routine, you will devote more and more time to special activities with your child, so that with children of six years old, two, sometimes three classes lasting from 25 to 35 minutes each are held daily.

When conducting classes, great importance is attached to the organization of the external environment: a well-ventilated room, sufficient and correct illumination of the table surface (the window or lamp should be located on the left side), the size of the table and chair corresponding to the child’s height. A small-sized object (book, pictures) being viewed by children should be at least 30 cm away from the child’s eyes.

Walks

Special mention should be made about walks.

A walk, long enough, carried out daily, is the most important means of improving a child’s health, his full and physical development. During the cold season, the child should walk at least 3-4 hours a day. If the weather is unfavorable, the walk can be shortened, but not cancelled.

The question of the weather (air temperature, humidity, wind strength) in which a child can walk with benefit in winter is not completely resolved. In many ways, its decision depends on the natural conditions in which the child lives. For example, in the north of our country, where the winter is both long and severe, children of senior preschool age
walking in frost 30-35.

In kindergartens in Norilsk, which educate children who come not only from the middle zone, but also from the southern regions of the CIS, children of senior preschool age go for a walk if there is no wind, and at minus 40. Naturally, in severe frosts, children walk less, than on other days. Before a walk, the child’s face is smeared with Vaseline. If he is cold, he is asked to go indoors for a short time (about five minutes) and warm up. But even 15-20-minute walks at very low air temperatures provide good emotional and physical exercise.

During the cold season, the mobility of some children is limited by dressing them incorrectly or wrapping them up too much. When putting “a hundred clothes” on a child, parents are guided by good intentions: “Otherwise he will catch a cold and get sick.” But in fact, a child whose bulky clothes prevent him from playing with his peers, throwing snowballs, making snow “women,” or sledding down a hill, not only loses the joy of these activities, but begins to lag significantly behind in physical development. In such children, the body's adaptability to cold and heat and resistance to the effects of harmful microorganisms decrease. They are often either too thin or too fat.

Inharmonious physical development leads to a delay in improving motor skills.

The child’s daily routine is adjusted to life circumstances, as well as to the rhythm, habits and plans of the family: both the baby himself and his parents.

Remember: a daily routine is a way to distribute time among activities throughout the day. His task is not to overload the child to the maximum, but to balance his daily routine so that the baby’s body and nervous system are not overloaded, so that any type of activity is beneficial and does not exhaust the child. Periods of work and study should be combined with rest, sleep and food.

Pros and cons of following a daily routine

Not all psychologists and pediatricians agree on the benefits of introducing a clear daily routine into a child’s life. There are both positive and negative reviews regarding compliance with the regime. The choice remains with the parents; only they can understand whether the daily routine has a positive effect on their child or whether there are many more negative aspects.

Negative feedback:

• Following a strict regime is contrary to natural biology: the child’s body intuitively understands its needs, and the regime is not a necessity.
• A regime is a kind of violence and coercion to do “the right thing.” Not every preschooler benefits from the regimen psychologically.
• A child is a creative person with individuality and openness. And the regime is the restrictions that parents sometimes need more.

Positive reviews:

• Maintaining a daily routine for a preschooler is the path to a healthy body: one time for meals, walks in the fresh air, and sleep.
• Doctors believe that it is adherence to the regime that promotes health; Everything has its time: eating, sleeping, walking, and the body gets used to it - sleep becomes sound, and appetite improves.
• It is the routine that helps organize the child’s time, which means that everything will be predictable and planned, and as a result, the preschooler will not have a feeling of helplessness from getting into unexpected situations, there will be no fuss and anxiety.
• A child who is accustomed to a routine needs less control. This is good for both parents and preschoolers.
• It is the daily routine that often becomes the “lifeline” that saves the child in the new world of school. This is the stability and immutability that gives confidence.
• A routine often helps build self-discipline.

It is important to understand that a child’s daily routine is not a strict schedule, when you need to meet the deadline to complete a task, but this is a good way to meet the baby’s needs. As a child grows up, his daily routine can and should change.

For each family, the regime will be built according to their ideas about the necessary activities for the child, hobbies and traditions.

Before the most important event for a child - entering school - the task of parents is to rearrange his daily routine in advance, so as to change it minimally in elementary school. The child should get enough sleep, go for a walk, and do homework not late in the evening, but in advance. So that a preschooler can not only study, but also devote time to games, hobbies or favorite activities.

When creating your daily routine, remember:

• Flexibility of the daily routine is important;
• reasonableness of its preparation;
• It is necessary to proceed from the interests and needs of your child.

We teach the child to the daily routine

If it so happens that your child does not follow the daily routine, or for some reason his routine has gone astray or simply does not fit well into the new circumstances of a preschooler’s life, then it is necessary to change it.

This needs to be done gradually:

• Play with your child, teaching him a routine. Games and competitions will help you a lot. Use colorful posters, funny and original clocks, alarm clocks, colorful schedules, etc.;
• Do not deviate from the regime under any circumstances (the arrival of guests is not a reason to change the regime);
• Pay attention to how the child feels (if sick, make the necessary adjustments to the daily routine);
• Do not replace games and walks with a computer, tablet or TV;
• Set an example - be sure to follow the routine yourself, otherwise the child will see that the daily routine is not necessary.
• Intuitive mode. If you take a close look at your baby, you will notice that he often gets up and goes to bed at about the same time, plays, and walks. Parents who reject the accepted daily routine often create their own without realizing it.

What does a child’s daily routine provide?

• Every pediatrician tells parents that a preschooler’s daily routine is the basis for the child’s health, and not just a temporary moment in life - the routine will help develop, learn and grow without harm to health.
• Also, the daily routine affects the child’s psychological health. If your child falls asleep and wakes up at different times, it means he is awake for a different number of hours. As a result, fatigue, irritability, possible manifestations of aggression and weakened immunity.
• The routine organizes the child and helps him achieve his goals. If he wants to learn to play the guitar or chess, time will appear in his schedule for lessons, and accordingly the child is moving towards his goal.
• A child’s daily routine is also important for an adult. Moreover, at first it is a little more necessary for parents, because it contributes to better control of their time. Then the child needs the regime.
• It does not occur to a child who has lived according to a routine since childhood to refuse to go to bed, eat or go for a walk. The baby himself will willingly adhere to the daily routine, because this is the key to stability and calm, which are so important to him. In the mornings, the child has time to get dressed slowly, no one rushes him. During the day, the rhythm of life in the family is predictable - everything goes peacefully and without conflicts. In the evening, parents can devote time to themselves.

Over time, the regime changes slightly. The amount of sleep decreases, the child stops sleeping during the day or sleeps less. But remember that a child still needs more sleep than an adult.

Baby's sleep

• Children under 5 years old need to sleep more than 12 hours a day;
• for a slightly older baby: from 5 to 6, sleep from 11 hours is already suitable;
• A preschooler must nap once during the day until he is 6 years old.

The peculiarities of a child’s sleep are determined by everything that surrounds him. Sounds, home environment, education. A number of children perceive the need to go to bed with reluctance, sometimes with aggression. The baby does not know or understand that regular lack of sleep is often the cause of his poor health, lack of mood, frequent whims and has an extremely negative impact on his overall health. This clearly affects not only the state of the nervous system, but also the weakening of the immune system of the entire body as a whole.

We go to bed and get up on time

• Often the baby wants to finish what he was doing (playing, drawing, etc.). Therefore, tell your child in advance (10-15 minutes before) that you need to go to bed soon. And when this moment comes, take your child to bed, do not give in to persuasion to play a little more or tears that he did not finish the picture.
• The rule that the baby must change his clothes himself will help to gradually switch the child from play to sleep. Prepare (spread) the bed for bed, put your favorite toy under the blanket.
• The best way to encourage your baby to quickly jump into bed and get ready for bed is a ritual of reading a book at night while cuddling with mom or dad.
• It is best if the child gets up immediately after waking up. But do not forget, if necessary, to leave five or ten minutes for the baby to transition from sleep to wakefulness, because some people need time to wake up.
• Then let the baby dress himself. Throughout preschool, children should develop the habit of dressing themselves, washing and combing their hair after sleep.

We have already written about that. This article may be useful to you.

Basic rules for creating a regime

• The regimen should be suitable and comfortable for you and the child.
• It is important to take into account the baby’s biological rhythms, and not change them.
• There is no “correct” routine, there is a possible plan. You can get up early or, on the contrary, build your routine so that you are sure to get enough sleep.

If the routine for bedtime, food, time for learning, walking and playing is repeated daily, it has a beneficial effect on all physiological processes in the body and the child’s nervous system. It is known that the absence of a normal routine affects the condition of a preschooler: the child gets tired and feels lethargic or, on the contrary, too excited.

The basics of a preschooler's daily routine are the same as for young children. It is very important to accustom your child to the correct regimen. The child should go to bed and get up at a certain time, have breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same hours. In a preschooler's daily routine, it is necessary to set aside time for games and walks, and it is recommended to alternate walks with outdoor games.

Preschooler's daily routine. DIET:

When establishing a preschooler’s diet, you need to remember that the child should eat 4-5 times a day. You should have breakfast no later than 45 minutes - 1 hour after waking up, and plan dinner 1.5-2 hours before bedtime. You also need to determine the time for lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, in accordance with the general routine in the family. And if a child attends kindergarten, then a strict regime has already been established there.

The daily diet is distributed as follows: Breakfast - 20-25%, lunch - 35-40%, afternoon snack - 10-15% and dinner - 20%. Do not allow children to snack on cookies, candy, etc. at inappropriate times.

Preschooler's daily routine.SLEEPING MODE:

The normal sleep duration for a 3-4 year old child is 13-14 hours, and for a 5-6 year old child it is 12-13 hours. Part of this time is allocated for daytime sleep. Children 3-4 years old usually sleep 2 hours during the day, and 5-6 years old - 1.5 hours. You also need to take into account the child’s health status - weakened children need longer sleep. Children should be put to bed at night at 8-9 pm. To do this, you need to create a calm environment, then the child will quickly fall asleep.

A distinctive feature of every preschool is its routine. The daily routine in kindergarten is compiled according to a clear schedule, down to the minutes. Any delay can lead to the child falling behind the established schedule. Many parents may doubt the advisability of such strict adherence to the procedure, considering it a kind of restriction of freedom for the baby, but experts, including pediatricians, neurologists and nutritionists, insist on the obvious benefits of such a regime, supporting their position with various facts.

Classes in kindergarten are held strictly according to the schedule

Why should you follow the regime?

According to doctors, the regime in kindergarten, which consists of repeating actions at the same time every day, contributes to the formation of stable mental and physiological health in children. For example, one of the main reasons that doctors associate with the appearance of rickets or scarlet fever is precisely a violation of the regime. A disrupted schedule, in turn, leads to deviations in the course of metabolic processes in the body and to a decrease in its resistance to infections.

All mothers are familiar with the situation when the child does not want to go to bed during the day. However, such a missed day's rest can provoke various kinds of nervous disorders. While the baby sleeps, his brain cells are restored and the perception of new information improves. If the baby didn’t get enough sleep, was overloaded with homework, or had a significant emotional incident, all this can cause the development of hyperactivity and various tics.

In addition, nutritionists and nutrition specialists from the University of Chicago concluded that failure to follow the sequence of actions and their time frame in kindergarten and at home is fraught with obesity. As a result, due to lack of sleep, improper distribution of hormones such as ghrelin and leptin occurs, which increases the child’s appetite.

The only specialists who are not supporters of the daily routine in a kindergarten are psychologists. In their opinion, if you force and impose someone else's will on a child, this will only suppress his individuality.

Scientists have concluded that lack of sleep and lack of a daily routine provoke obesity in children.

However, from a psychological point of view, one can find facts in favor of the regime. For example, thanks to its observance, the child is systematized and accustomed to order, which helps him adapt more quickly to kindergarten. When a child finds himself in new conditions, performing the same actions according to a schedule, he becomes more relaxed, because he knows that after lunch there will be sleep, followed by classes, after which one of the relatives will come.

Features of the regime in kindergarten

Naturally, children cannot immediately adapt to the unusual regime that is followed in kindergarten, so parents are advised to teach their child to follow the appropriate schedule at home even before entering the chosen institution. You can get acquainted with it on the website of the future preschool educational institution or in its educational program. The standard schedule of all preschool educational institutions is calculated for 12 hours, which the child spends in a preschool institution. Sometimes the manager may make certain small adjustments to the schedule according to geographic location and climate. However, the basic provisions regarding the time boundaries of sleep, activity and wakefulness remain the same as they are specified in the sanitary and epidemiological rules and regulations SanPiN 2.4.1.2660 - 10.

The main nuances of the schedule in kindergartens are listed below:

• Taking into account the age characteristics of children for their harmonious development. Active activity of children aged 3 to 7 years should not exceed 5.5-6 hours in duration, up to 3 years - according to medical prescriptions.

The period of activity in the kindergarten corresponds to the age norms of children

• The permissible educational load per week for preschoolers, which also includes additional classes: for junior groups attended by children under 4 years old - the volume is a maximum of 11 lessons, in middle groups with children under 5 years old - 12, in older groups with five-year-olds - 15, and in preparatory groups with children under 7 years old - 17 lessons.
• Season. There are two separate modes for the warm and cold seasons. The main difference between the two is that when it's warm outside, caregivers welcome babies outdoors rather than indoors, and most waking hours and physical activity also take place outside.

Diet in the garden

Kindergarten workers who are responsible for the meal schedule are faced with the following task: preparing food, arranging plates of hot dishes in advance so that they cool down, and then serving the second and third without delay.

The table shows what the meal schedule looks like in most preschool institutions:

Food in the kindergarten compensates for the lack of vitamins and minerals, its energy value is precisely calculated

Approximate daily routine in a regular preschool educational institution

The daily routine in kindergarten consists of:

• diet, namely the time and number of meals;
• daytime sleep;
• walks;
• children's reception time;
• games and activities.

Teachers accept children to the kindergarten from the moment it starts working until 8 o'clock in the morning. The period while the reception lasts is a time for independent games in the group room or on the playground in the warm season. Before breakfast, time from 8.00 to 8.20/8.30 is allocated for morning exercises with a teacher or physical worker and for preparing for breakfast.

Morning classes

Starting from 9.00, classes are held for children aimed at helping them learn about the world around them, develop their speech skills and become familiar with the basics of mathematics. Teachers are responsible for conducting classes. They must prescribe an activity plan in advance in order to meet the allotted time. In addition to the teacher, a music worker and a physical educator can also work with the kids.

In the first half of the day, children can have music classes or physical exercise.

In addition to regular group classes, children can visit the pool 2 times a week, if available. In senior and preparatory groups, additional classes with a speech therapy focus are also organized, in which children train their speech. Only a speech therapist teacher is required to conduct them.

The duration and number of classes depends on age. For younger preschoolers, there are 2 classes a day, one before bedtime, the other after. In the middle group, the teacher works with the kids twice a day for a total of 10 hours. For older preschoolers, the number of classes increases to three, and their duration also increases.

Between classes there should be mandatory breaks when the children rest and move. This is the only way to keep your child active and cognitively active throughout the day.

Walks and naps

After classes are over and the children have had their second breakfast, it's time for a walk. In the nursery, the walk begins earlier than in other groups, and therefore also ends earlier; the children in them are the very first to have lunch. Since children go to the nursery group at 2-3 years old, taking into account the characteristics of a small body, wakefulness time is reduced, and daytime sleep, on the contrary, becomes longer.

With age, the child’s period of activity increases, thereby the baby’s body gradually prepares for school and the regime in it. In the middle group, walks usually last until 11.30-11.50, and in the preparatory group - up to 12.15-12.30. After returning from the street, the children will have lunch and a nap. The room where children sleep should be ventilated in advance, and the beds should be prepared for bed. The youngest go to bed at 12.30, the oldest at 13.00-13.15.

Daytime naps help restore baby's strength

Afternoon

The rising time in kindergarten is the same for all groups. The children are woken up at 15.00, followed by washing, changing clothes and an afternoon snack. In the younger groups, after this, a second general education lesson is held, in the middle and older groups it is time for the children to play independently, read, cartoons or attend clubs that are available in the institution.

Evening meal times may vary depending on the schedule. After dinner, the kids usually go out for a walk again, where their parents gradually begin to come for them. In winter, the second walk does not last long, so the children are taken home to the group premises.

The daily routine of a preschooler is a set of activities aimed at strengthening the child’s immunity, nervous system and digestive tract. A properly designed routine will help reduce fatigue and provide all the baby’s needs. However, you should know when to stop in everything, so you should not put your preschooler in strict limits that will only harm him.

General information for creating a child’s daily routine
