School mornings made easier School mornings made easier Whether you have one child or four children, the morning at home prior to leaving for school can be stressful. If you and your child are organized and know what steps must be taken, this early morning rush hour can be hassle free and fun. Begin by ensuring your child has had a good sleep.
Parents can tell when their child has gone to bed too late the night before.
Be strict with bedtime hours, as a tired child is less willing to follow the morning routine. He will feel happier if his sleep has ended naturally, rather than being interrupted to rise for school. Develop a routine for these school mornings. 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.
