Plan a toddler daily routine.

Age: [age]
Wake / nap / bedtime now: [rough]
Fixed points: [nursery, work, siblings]
What's failing: [mornings, evenings, meals]
What I need protected: [a shower, a call]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A daily outline with anchors (meals, nap, outdoors, wind-down).
2. Flex windows when life happens.
3. A shorter weekend version.
4. When sleep or behaviour needs a health visitor or GP, not only a routine tweak.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. This is help with wording and planning, not legal, medical or counselling advice; point me to GOV.UK, Citizens Advice, NSPCC (0808 800 5000), Childline (0800 1111), Samaritans (116 123) or Refuge/National Domestic Abuse Helpline (0808 2000 247) where that fits, and call 999 if anyone is in immediate danger. UK English.
