Set your child up for success!
Here are some simple things you can do to make your mornings easier, and provide you child a great start to each day.
- Establish a consistent morning routine. This helps set expectations and reduces the chaos of trying to figure out what comes next.
- Prepare as much as you can the night before – lay out clothes, pack lunches, and have backpacks ready to go.
- Wake up a little earlier than your child to give yourself some time to eat breakfast, drink coffee, exercise, or do whatever helps you get in the zone for the day.
- Foster a positive and calm atmosphere. Use encouraging words and keep stress levels low by keeping things simple. A smile and a hug can go a long way in setting a cheerful mood for the day ahead.
- At drop off, leave them with a positive affirmation

By following these tips, you can create a more peaceful and productive morning routine that benefits both you and your child, setting the stage for a successful day.
