Morning and Bedtime Routine Charts for Kids and Teens: After School Routine, Ages 14 to 21

The fastest way to cut down on morning fights is to stop being the reminder. When the routine is on the wall, the chart does the nagging and you get to be the encourager.

What's included:

• Making routines stick (one page for parents)

• Morning charts for kids and teens

• An after school chart

• Bedtime charts for kids and teens

• A build your own page with weekly check off grids

How I'd use it:

Build the chart with your kid, not for them. Let them pick the order where it does not matter. Teens get a version that looks like a list, not a sticker chart. Point to the chart instead of repeating yourself.

The weekly check off grids let kids see a streak, which most of them love. Keep the list short, six to eight steps, and use the build your own page for weekends, sports nights, or split households where the routine changes. Teachers can send these home after a parent conference when mornings are making the school day harder. A calm morning at home shows up as a calmer first hour at school. Older kids can fill in their own chart, which tends to work better than one an adult made for them.

Who it's for: Families and teachers. Grades PreK 12, plus homeschool.

What you download: one printable PDF, 4 pages, US Letter.
