7 Tips for Helping the Day Go Smoothly

Many families struggle to get everyone to school and work on time. This can be particularly tricky if learning and attention issues make it hard for your child to transition from task to task or keep track of time. Understood offers some helpful tips that can enhance—and ease—your daily routines.

3. Use pictures. Picture schedules can help kids understand what’s expected of them and in what order.
