Like the others I can’t wait for my two kids to grow. Maybe that time things will be easier for me and no more rush hours. I only have two and you got five so yours is pretty tough.

I have given my young daughter a checklist that she is accountable for so I can concentrate on Grandma who needs more help:-)

Isn’t it great when kids get old enough to get themselves ready? It helps so much, so that we can take more of a “management” role. :) I hope your son’s meltdown passed and he was able to get to school ok this morning!

I hope you don’t mind, but I plan on using this with families I work with. I am a family case manager with the Regional Intervention Program of Nashville (https://www.ripnetwork.org). We are a postitve behavior managemnet program for families with children under 6, who have behavior problems. This is one of the topics that most moms bring to the table, and I would love to be able to share this with them!

Have a great day!
Scott (I’m a member over at I ? Faces)

The distracted, the restless, the reader. Given that I am a morning person, night time routines kill me every night. I will try the morning music. That might help a lot. All 6 of my kids get ready themselves and can make their own lunches (and in return I very rarely veto their dressing choices).

Like I mentioned in Twitter, my 1st grader had a meltdown this morning. It never occurred to me to let him calm down and bring him tardy. I will remember that trick for next time!
