Routines — we all need them, but how do families build rhythms that actually work?

In this episode, Gareth, Lizzy, Daisy and Lucy dive into the importance of establishing healthy family routines and the impact these daily habits have on children’s character, responsibility, and long-term wellbeing. They explore how parents can model the behaviours they hope their children will adopt, why flexibility matters as kids grow, and how family meals, chores, and shared rhythms strengthen connection and communication.

The conversation highlights the role of routines in helping children develop confidence, understand expectations, and contribute meaningfully to family life. Gareth and Lucy share practical ideas, personal reflections, and the small wins that keep routines moving forward — even when life gets messy.
