One of the most nourishing pieces of life for a young child is rhythm – having predictable, secure routines to their days, to their weeks – because as their brain is wiring up, it will wire up in a consistent… the well-mapped circuitry that comes from living this rhythmic, predictable, secure life, you can’t buy that. That is a gift of rhythm in a life of a child. So bedtimes and mealtimes are predictable. The daily rhythm takes on the feeling of a ritual. Mondays is when we wash the sheets. Tuesdays is when we go to the farmers’ market. So the young child can live in that dreamlike state that is the hallmark of childhood and know what’s coming, always know what’s coming, which lets them live in that secure, safe place that fosters the most robust, vibrant brain development. Which is what we’re seeking.
