ππ§ little rules and chores to give yourself when you donβt have/want a caregiver! π§π
- firstly, make a sticker chart for yourself! every time you follow a rule or complete a chore, give yourself a sticker! and be honest! give yourself a big reward at the end of the week, like a toy from the store!
- no swearing! every time you swear, mark it down in a journal and reflect on that at the end of the week. did you swear too much? think about how you can do better next week. did you not swear at all? reward yourself!
- set a βclean up alarmβ on your phone! ideally this would be about an hour before your bedtime. when it goes off, itβs time to put everything away!
- set your bedtime alarm! when the alarm goes off, itβs lights out! make sure youβre getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep! for instance, my bedtime alarm is at 10:30 on weekdays, and i wake up at 6 for work! no screens during bedtime unless itβs to help you sleep.
- portion your food properly! make sure itβs the proper, healthy amount! nothing to little or too much. i have a binge eating problem, so this rule greatly helps me portion better!
- put your dishes in the sink when youβre done, throw away your garbage, and recycle your plastics and cans!
- do the dishes, if youβre able! put on your favorite song and sing along to it while you clean your dishes to make it go by faster. and make it more fun!
- donβt be rude or a meanie! practice kindness with your toys or stuffies if you struggle with attitude problems. thereβs no shame in having an attitude problem, i struggle with it sometimes too! practicing manners can really help.
- do some worksheets! thereβs so many you can find on tumblr using the agere classroom tag! download them (or print them out) and get to work! set a goal for yourself, and reward accordingly. (ex: 3 completed worksheets = 1 sticker on your chart)
- do something active at least once a day, if you are able! go for a walk, go swimming, play a sport, do yoga, play an active video game like wii sports or just dance, do jumping jacks, etc! if you canβt, thatβs okay! iβm physically disabled and canβt be active for long periods of time, so i get it!
- limit your screen and social media time! when your screen time is up, go play with your toys instead!
- if you have a job or go to school, reward yourself for doing well! if you accomplished a lot of work, give yourself a sticker. if you didnβt, give yourself a sticker anyway for trying your hardest!
- read something once a day! if youβre a baby/toddler, read one picture book a day. if youβre a kiddo/middle, read one chapter of your favorite book a day!
- try to do something educational at least once a day! google facts about your favorite animal and write it down, play math games online, watch an educational childrenβs show, etc!
