Smooth Mornings

Now that the kids are back to school its time for us to grab a cup of tea and relax……… don't we all wish this is how our mornings were spent. What we can do is take some time to get ourselves organized so our mornings are smoother. Here are a few simple steps to stay ahead of the game.


1.Plan ahead. Pick out outfits, shower, pack lunches and backpacks the night before.

2.Wake up before the kids. If you are ready then you are able to help children with their needs.

3.Have children wake up 10 minutes earlier.

4.Use a chart. Allow children to be responsible for their morning tasks.

5.No raising your voice. This only adds to the stress of an already busy morning

6.Share a nutritious breakfast together.

7.Be ready early. Try to be ready 5 minutes early. Reward children for accomplishment.
