Morning Routines - Getting Ready

he audio file for this episode is unfortunately no longer available, but I still want to share with you key takeaways from this episode:

This routine comes into play as soon as the kids need to leave the house in the morning. For some kids, this will start when they are born if they go to daycare. For other kids, it will not start until they go off to preschool or full day school. For homeschool families, the start time of the day can be much more flexible, but it is beneficial for everyone to know and carry out a morning routine whenever the day gets going.

A morning routine can include: wash face, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush teeth, put lunch in school bag, and so on.

Older kids may want to shower in the morning or may need more time for more elaborate hairstyles or makeup.
