β° Make Getting Ready a Game! ππ
Mornings don't have to feel like a race.
As school approaches, help your child become familiar with the steps of getting ready by turning the routine into a fun βBeat the Clockβ challenge!
Try saying:
β° βCan we get dressed before the timer rings?β
πͺ₯ βLet's see if we can finish brushing our teeth before the song ends!β
π βCan you get your backpack ready before we're finished counting to 20?β
Keep the goal playful rather than stressful. The purpose isn't to make children rushβit's to help them become familiar with the sequence of their morning routine.
β¨ Parent Tip: Use a cheerful timer, favorite song, or silly countdown instead of constantly saying, βHurry!β
At Fun Times With T**i LLC, we believe routines can be opportunities for children to practice skills while having fun.
π¬ Parent Question:
What part of your morning routine would your child enjoy turning into a game?
