Visual Cue Strategy – Help Kids Follow Routines Without Reminders

Kids don’t always hear your words—but they remember what they see.

✅ The Hack: Use Visual Aids to Guide Daily Routines

Create charts or icons for everyday tasks. For young kids, use pictures or stickers. For older ones, checklists.

🧠 Why It Works:

Visuals reduce the need for verbal repetition. They empower kids to be independent.

✨ Example:
