School is starting up again, which means that you (as parent) desperately need to get your child back into a morning routine. Do this not only for yourself and your child, do it for his teacher :).

Here is an example of a simple morning routine ( a few too many steps for my liking) that I recently made with a parent. I would strongly suggest this be posted somewhere very visible in the home (refridgerator comes to mind, the child’s bedroom door or dresser table). The pictures that accompany the writing are essential. Remember that your child often thinks in pictures and will most likely be able to reference the visual in his or her memory much more clearly then the text.

If you have a morning routine that works and would like to share, please post it in the comments section. We can all use ideas when it comes to this crazy time of day.
