Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
Family routines set out how families organise themselves to get things done, spend time together and have
fun. Routines help family members know who should do what, when, in what order and how often. Routines
also let your children know what’s important to your family.
Routines can bring children several benefits. Routines can be part of an organised and predictable home
environment, which helps children and teenagers feel safe and looked after. And a
predictable family life can also help children cope during development changes like puberty or life events like
the birth of a new child, divorce, illness or a house move. Also, routines built around having fun or spending
time together develop a sense of belonging and strengthen family relationships. For example, your routine
might include things like reading a story together before bed each night, sharing regular family meals, or
having a kick with your child before soccer practice every week.
Having chores as part of family routines helps children and teenagers develop a sense of responsibility and
some basic skills like time management. These are what children can use for life. And when children can do
their parts of the routine with less help or supervision, it also helps them become more independent.
Routines can help younger children to learn healthy habits, like brushing their teeth, taking medicine
regularly, doing physical activity, or washing their hands after using the toilet. This means that routines can be
good for children’s health. For example, children who wash their hands more regularly might be less likely to
get colds and other common illnesses. Also, routines can reduce stress, and lower stress is good for children’s
immune systems.
