My parents simply disregarded daylight savings. Our routines always have and always will be more in line with the sun. A clock is just there to confirm the sun's around where it should be.
Your daughter's not going to want to do the thing in the routine because you're expecting her to do them at a time of day that isn't the right time of day to do them yet. Her circadian rhythm and perception of the day gives zero fucks about the concept of DST so just remove it from her.
I can do thateas school changes the start time. My daughter already wasn't getting up on time if allowed.
I feel like we can all trust the sun to be where it should be.
