MAKE SCHOOL DAY MORNINGS EASIER School day mornings can


be hectic, as getting kids ready for school and out the door on time is not always easy. Working par- ents may find school day mornings especially diffi- cult, as their own work schedules can make morn- ings feel even more rushed. Fortunately,


parents can


employ several strategies to free up time in the morning so everyone starts their days off in a more relaxing atmosphere. • Wake up earlier. Sleep might seem like a precious commodity, but waking up just 10 to 15 minutes earlier can remove some of the stress from weekday morn- ings without costing you a lot of sack time. Let kids sleep in until their normal wakeup time, using your extra 10 or 15 minutes to shower or enjoy your morn- ing cup of coffee before the house is abuzz with activity. • Tackle certain chores the night before. Delaying cer- tain chores until you wake up makes for a hectic morn- ing, so tackle as many morning chores as possible before you go to bed for the night. Prepare school lunch- es, lay clothes out for your- self and your children, and make sure kids have their backpacks packed and ready to go before they go to bed. Each of these things may only take a few min-


utes, but when left for the morning, they can add up to a substantial amount of time. • Encourage youngsters to


pick up the pace. Some people are morning people, while others dread setting their alarms for early morn- ing hours. Kids who fall into the latter group may drag their feet in the morning, but parents should offer encouragement when kids are moving slowly in the morning. Allowing


your


frustration to show may only make kids less fond of mornings, so remind them as nicely as possible that everyone has a schedule to stick to if they seem to be dragging their feet. • Keep the television off. If


watching the television is ingrained in your morning routine,


try going a few


days without it to see if this makes it easier to get out the door on time. Kids might grow distracted by morning cartoons, and even adults may get caught up in morning news shows or other forecasts. Eliminat- ing television from your morning routine can save time and also may help your family grow closer, as you will have more distrac- tion-free time to speak to one another. In addition to turning off the television, resist the urge to turn on your devices or scan work


emails when getting ready in the morning. Parents know that school


day mornings can be hectic. But there are several ways


to make such mornings go more smoothly so everyone gets where they need to be on time.
