Alarm Clock!
School is beginning and your children have to adjust to a time schedule now that summer is over and staying up late and sleeping in has to end!
You may find yourself going round and round trying to get breakfast over and get them ready for school–not saying anything about first getting them out of bed! After thinking about it, maybe the smart thing would be to get them each an alarm clock and make them fully responsible to get up and ready in time. ( I know your saying it will never work!)
Would you believe, when we tried this, the very first morning they had thirty minutes to relax before leaving for school! The next few weeks they were much happier when they left–for a number of reasons: they didn’t hear me yell at them - it did them good to feel they could really do something on their own- and they had enough time, so that they enjoyed doing little things for me before they left.
Invest in an ALARM CLOCK!
