Children can add excitement to any household. Sometimes, the excitement and hecticness in the morning time may be unwelcomed. Lets face it, a morning routine with kids is hectic. It can cause a lot of stress and anxiety for parents. The main reason being, there is a lot to do and there is typically a time constraint. So how can this go any easier for us parents? Lets take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you know what has to be done, get as much done beforehand as possible. I like to get a few things ready the night before after the kids go to bed. For example, I put the kids backpacks on the chairs by the door so they can grab them on the way out. I make sure that their folders and homework are where they should be. I also try to pack their lunch as much as I can. I may put some snacks in that don\u2019t require refrigeration. I also try to pick out their outfits and lay them out. I even gather their shoes and put them next to their clothes so we don\u2019t have to have a treasure hunt for them in the morning. I tend to even get up before the kids so I have a chance to make sure I can get my head on straight. If I wake up with the kids, I feel like it is a whirlwind. It tends to make me not feel focused and often forgetful. The more you can check off your list before they awake the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
