Beat the morning Rush

We seem to have many children reporting late in the mornings. I realize with the change in weather it becomes more difficult to rise and shine; however here are a few short tips to ensure a happy and calm school morning.

• Check the weather forecast and help your child choose clothes, coat, and shoes for the upcoming day
• Have them put their backpack by the door and be sure they put their homework, permission slips inside and a reminder their lunch is in the refrigerator
• Together, plan breakfast, and pack a healthy snack or lunch.
• Test your child for tomorrow's quiz that one last time.
• If you still have problems set their clocks in their room ten minutes ahead this always gives a little cushion.

If you follow this advice you and your child will have a great morning which always sets the tone for the day. Have a great weekend and hopefully we won't be shoveling for long.
