In this episode of the Young & Healthy podcast…
Host Kate Setter talks with pediatric psychologist Dr. Alex Nyquist about the power of routines—how they shape our days, support child development and what to do when life throws routines off track.
Routines are more than just daily checklists. They’re patterns that help kids feel safe, learn independence and grow with confidence. But what happens when those routines get disrupted? Dr. Nyquist offers insight into how changes—like vacations, moves, or transitions between school years—can be opportunities for growth.
From evolving bedtime rituals to adapting routines to meet a child’s individual needs, this episode covers it all. Listeners will hear practical tips for re-establishing routines after big changes, preparing for summer and recognizing when routines might be too strict.
No matter what your podcast routine looks like, tune in and discover how to keep growing, adjusting, and moving forward!
