Routine becomes habit, which will eventually require less repeating on the parent's part and more natural action on the child's part. Once your child has awoken, gone to the washroom and refreshed himself, have him get dressed for school. If your child has trouble choosing clothes in the morning, assist him night before in laying out the next day's items. By getting dressed prior to eating, you have given the child an opportunity to wake up fully as well as develop a hunger and desire for breakfast. It also provides you with an opportunity to judge how much time you have between breakfast and leaving for school.
Breakfast is very important for the child that is heading to school.
You don't want him feeling hungry when he should be concentrating. Breakfast can be simple, hot or cold. The idea is to give your child something that he likes and that is nutritious. With everyone performing what is expected, there should be fewer hassles in the morning. While your child is having his breakfast, prepare his lunch.
