Yes that is what I have observed happening in my family…It feels far more organic and not contrived and pushed and it feels more relaxed and natural.
I agree. Some people seem to think that everything will fall into chaos if no one imposes “structure” from above, but in my experience, people naturally fall into a routine. Not that there’s anything wrong with having a plan (as long it’s flexible) but you don’t always have to have one. Also, the younger the children are, the more flexible your plan has to be.
