Planning pays off
As part of your going-to-bed ritual, get kids to help make sure everything is packed up and ready to roll in the morning. Double- check homework is in the backpack, shoes are lined up, a raincoat is handy if the forecast is wet and check the calendar to make sure there’s nothing special going on the next day.
Do it EVERY night, and mornings will be calmer for all, and you’ll be getting kids into a habit that will help them forever.
