Cycle home
After a full school day the legs must still pedal, the eyes track traffic, and the brain remember the route. The images below break the ride home into smaller stretches.

About this visual support
The afternoon ride home looks straightforward from the outside, yet it falls exactly when the child has spent most of their daily focus. A junction that felt fine in the morning can suddenly seem bigger, and the body just wants to be home.
A visual schedule gives the child an outside memory to lean on when inner concentration drops. The cards below show where the helmet goes on, which side of the road the bike stays on, where to stop and look, and which final stretch is left before the door. It becomes easier to pause at the points that matter instead of pushing through tired.
One concrete tip: mark a fixed rest spot halfway, like a bench or a lamp post, and add it to the visual sequence. The child then knows a break is built in. In the Routined app you can set the route with timings and images so your child can follow the ride home themselves. Try it for 14 days at no cost.
