By age
What a child needs changes a great deal between the preschool years and the late teens. Each guide below covers one stage: what to focus on, how long a day can be, how Quran, Arabic and Islamic studies fit in, and a sample week to copy.
With children of different ages, read the guide for each and then look at the sample routines to see how they can share a morning.
Each guide also says what can wait. A calm routine in a few subjects beats a crowded timetable, and the sample weeks show how little needs to be done on a good day to count as a full day.
