It’s back to school time again. Does the thought of having to get everyone organized and out the door make you want to send for boarding school brochures? Here are a few tips to help get through that back to school daze.
Making Merry Mornings:
The biggest cause of whining and tantrums in the morning is a sleepy child trying to make a decision. Eliminate the choices along with the grumpiness.
- Lay out clothes the night before. This simple action can prevent wasting time looking for a missing shoe or favorite pants that are still in the dryer.
- Pack a lunch or put out lunch money the night before.
- If family members share a bathroom in the morning, work out a schedule and have them stick to it.
- A good night’s sleep is essential to reducing some of the morning moodiness. Keep a regular bedtime – both parents and children.

- Have a system for the student to keep track of all assignments and upcoming tests. This system can be as simple as a small notebook where homework for all classes is written down.
- Start a family calendar to keep track of PTA meetings, school parties, extracurricular activities, etc.
- A daily family ritual can give the child (and parents) something to look forward to. Ideas are a card game after dinner, a walk in the park, or a crafts project.
