Having diffiulty in the morning getting your child or children ready for school? I have found a simple solution. The night before let your child help pick out an outfit to wear the next day, one you both agree upon. If it is something you abosultely dislike, disgard it when doing the laundry or put it away for playtime or dressup time. Make sure the home work is checked and completed the night before and place it in the backpack. Put the backpack next to the door, for easy access when they are leaving the house. Solves the problem of I cant find it. Next the hair issue, I was so tired of arguing about the hair , how to wear it, or its in the eyes...Major problem in the morning. If your child is young let them pick one day how to wear it , then you pick the next day. If your child is older, and they are going throught that long hair stage. ( I totally dislike it) let them know how important your eyesight is. Fighting about this causes anxiety on both parts. They are trying to express themselves. Let them to an extent. If you pretend to love it, they will eventually change it. Its called the independent stage. How many of us remember rebeling against our parents? Trust me, if you tell them its great and wonderful, they will eventually do the opposite, so in the end you win.
