How to get your kids out of bed and out the door

We all know that when kids go to sleep, they sleep forever. When we try to get them out of bed, they usually have an attitude. Make the mornings go a lot smoother by following these tips below.

Step 1: You will need an alarm clock, healthy breakfast foods, and patience.

Step 2: Make sure kids have enough time to wind down at the end of the day so they can get a good night’s rest. Turn off the TV, computer games, and music early in the evening so they fall asleep more easily.

Step 3: Choose outfits the night before and set it aside, and pack homework and supplies in schoolbags and leave them by the door. This will save time in the morning.

Step 4: Let older kids set the alarm clock so it becomes a natural habit. Younger kids can be woken up with a gentle nudge from parents.

Step 5: Schedule time for breakfast. A healthy morning meal can stimulate learning and make kids more attentive in class.

Step 6: Keep the television turned off and leave toys out of the morning routine. Fewer distractions will keep everyone on track.
