 Mornings or after school or work can be hard because our lives are so busy. Some ways to make them easier are having a routine. The routine works best if we plan ahead and have things ready before it starts. When your child is first learning the routine, it can be helpful to have pictures of what they need to do to complete it. This allows your child to learn the steps of getting ready with fewer prompts from you. Praise your child for completing each step at first and waiting longer and longer to praise them as they master the routines.
