Does your house transform into a war zone right at the start of the day as you get your kids ready for school?
If yes, you’re not alone – 90 percent of households with school going children experience the same morning rush.
Do you or your child enjoy waking up to a battleground every single day of the week?
If not, how can you change the morning chaos into one whole hour of great family time? Is it even possible? Yes, it certainly is. All it requires is a small shift in habits.
Here’s how:
– Instead of waking up your kids based on how much time ‘you think’ they need to get ready, work backwards – assess how much time they ‘actually’ need to get ready without rushing every activity.
– Add 15 minutes to the time they actually need to get ready and set the alarm accordingly
– Involve every member of the family in the morning activities
– Do something fun together as a family for 10-15 minutes – play games, listen to music, groove to the music – the possibilities are endless
– Head out as a family to drop your kids to the school bus and see them off.
Be consistent in implementing these tips and watch the morning chaos transform into the best hour of the day which both you and your kids look forward to!
