We have all had the morning rush trying to discover backpacks and matching socks. Who has time to deal with that, and even more, who wants this type of stress to begin their day? If you haven't experienced the shouting: "I can't find my other shoe. Where is our jacket?" - you are probably one of the few.
Nearly all families have had to deal with this type of a morning, frequently every morning. Try a few helpful tips to help decrease the morning stress.
Organise school attire ahead of time. Try one week or even one day ahead. Hang trousers and shirts together. Clip socks onto the hangers. Always put shoes and our leather jackets away in the same place, and tidy through our leather messenger bags.
We produced special hanger organisers one year with our kids. We took pieces of fleece (you could use any type of fabric) and cut them to fit over the hangers. The kids applied fabric paint to write one day of the week on each organiser. Then they picked out their wear for the week and put the outfit on a hanger, and added the fabric organiser over the top. If you are great at sewing, you could add a pocket to the front of each organiser for socks and hair accessories.
You may also have your children lay out their wear the night before. Have them choose what to wear and then have a certain place this the attire are placed, such as the top of the dresser or end of the bed. Make sure they have shoes and socks to go with the attire.
A further way to avoid the last minute scramble is to get up earlier in the morning. Possessing extra time to get ready may help when something is lost. Keep the television off until everything is done, and the morning may be much calmer.
