Recycling
Which bin does the plastic packaging go in? And the cardboard box? In many homes recycling means juggling half a dozen parallel systems by heart. The visual support below makes that system visible.

About this visual support
Recycling takes more mental work than it looks: first identify the material, then match it to the right bin, then remember what happens when the bin gets full. For a child still building executive function, every step is a small decision point where it is easy to stall.
With a visual support where every material has its own clear picture, sorting feels more like a puzzle than a memory test. The child lifts the cardboard box, compares it to the paper card, drops it in the right slot. No spoken instructions to hold in mind while the hands are busy.
A practical tip: hang the visual support at child eye level right above the sorting station, not on the fridge across the room. The card needs to be where the decision is made. In Routined you can also add recycling as a recurring home task with a reminder. 14-day free trial, then a paid subscription.
