Monday Dad Week
Switching homes on a Monday means a different bed, a different fridge and a different morning rhythm. The visual support below lays out the whole week at dad's place so the change feels less abrupt.

About this visual support
The shift to dad's week tends to land on an ordinary Monday afternoon, and within a few hours the child has to adjust to a different bed, different snacks in the cupboard and a set of rules that don't quite match the other home. That cognitive load piles on top of an already long school day.
A weekly visual schedule lets the child look forward across all seven days: which evening is football, when is the food delivery, when does mum pick up next. With the week laid out on the wall instead of held in a single conversation, the child can wander over and check whenever uncertainty rises, without having to ask the same question repeatedly.
A practical idea: mark each day with a small icon for whose home it is, so the rhythm of the fortnight becomes visible at a glance. Inside Routined you can build the schedule digitally and share it with the other parent, so both households speak the same visual language during the 14-day trial.
