Video Prompt:

Title: “Creating Routines for Stability”
Length: ~6–8 minutes
Script Example:
“Think of your child’s routine like the frame of a house. Without it, everything feels wobbly. With a solid frame, they know what to expect, and that gives them a sense of security. It doesn’t have to be fancy—just consistent.”
