Once you have your kiddies into the night time routine, the morning routine should be easier to get into. 

If their clothes are ready and out in the morning it will save time when they get ready. This will help especially if you have more than one child to get dressed, fed and ready for school.

Let's have a look at an example of a morning routine. 

Morning time: 

06:00 - Wake up time - Wake the children up and give them 5 to 10 minutes to wake up and get to the kitchen for breakfast. 

06:10 - Breakfast time - Eat your breakfast, don't let the children watch TV while they eat breakfast, this might distract them and prolong the process. Once they are done with breakfast, hand them their lunches or lunch money to put in their school bags before getting dressed.  

06:30 - Finish up - Brush your teeth and get dressed so you can do your double check.   

06:50 - Double check - Help make a list of double/final checks before leaving the house, for example: Do you have your shoes, jacket/jersey, sport/gym clothes? Do you have all necessary books and stationery for your day at school? Do you have your lunch/lunch money? Is your homework book signed?  

07:00 - Final call - This will all depend on what time school starts and how far you have to travel to get to school. Make your final call 5 minutes before you want to be in the car and leave for school.

The sooner you try and get your children in some sort of routine, the sooner you will see a change in the overall positivity levels in your home. 

In the next post, I will discuss afternoon routine.
