"I just had the smoothest, best morning with my kids before they went to school, and I want to share exactly what I did to make that happen," a parenting expert revealed. Mornings can often be chaotic, filled with rushing and frustration, but this expert emphasizes the importance of establishing a calm and organized routine.
The key to a smoother morning lies in preparation. The expert suggests laying out clothes and packing school bags the night before. This small step can significantly reduce the stress of last-minute searches for missing items. Additionally, creating a morning schedule that includes time for breakfast, brushing teeth, and getting dressed can help children understand what to expect, making them more cooperative.
Incorporating fun elements, such as a family breakfast or a brief dance party, can also uplift the mood. By fostering a positive atmosphere, parents can transform the often hectic school mornings into enjoyable experiences that set a happy tone for the day ahead.
