It’s a dark morning and you have to get your child up for school. You can’t even get yourself out of bed. Take a deep breath, make some coffee, play some low music and begin putting low lights in around the house. If your child can wake up on their own you have won that battle.
Lay everything out the night before. Have your child choose their clothes. Have the lunch made the night before. Have the backpack filled with homework , and signed notices and leave it at the front side or garage. The flute, basketball bag and umbrella need to accompany the backpack.
You drop them off or the bus arrives and you can relax. Your kiddo is on the way to school and you just won that battle as well.
