With lunches fragmentedly scattered across your kitchen counter with your preschooler still standing dressed in their pajamas, you find your mornings full of chaos. If you’re holding a strong cup of coffee in hand, wondering where all the time has gone, here are some tips to help guide you toward a relaxing, chaos-free morning!
Give Yourself Time to Rest Beforehand
If you arise the same time as your preschooler, you may find you have little time for yourself to get ready before cuddling your sleepy, snuggly friend. Waking up a few minutes before your preschooler is beneficial for you to have time to rest and get going before the day really begins. This could be time spent reading a few chapters of a book you set aside or just sitting down to truly savor your morning coffee. The sky is the limit during this time as you prepare for the rest of the household to wake!
Prepare, Prepare, Prepare
As time seems to pass quickly in the morning, it can be difficult trying to balance getting your preschooler ready all while packing for their time spent at daycare. Do not worry as the solution is simple: prepare as much as you can the night before! Have your preschooler pick out their outfit and place it somewhere they will see the next morning. If their lunch can be packed to still taste fresh and yummy, get everything prepared and ready. Anything you think can be done the night before will help reduce the morning chaos!
Establish a Routine
Creating a structured morning environment could be the balance you are looking for! As you wake your preschooler up in the morning, guide them through the same routine each day. Remember to keep the list short and sweet: “First, we eat breakfast. Next, we change clothes. Then, we brush our teeth.” Creating a routine will help by keeping both you and your preschooler on track as the morning progresses.
With these few tips in mind, your mornings will seem less chaotic and full of extra time to spend with your growing preschooler before heading out to daycare!
