Your morning starts in the “usual” way.
Get up slow, look at your phone, have a “Holy ____” moment when you realize that 15 minutes has gone by, run to the shower, and spend the rest of the morning in a relative state of frantic excitement.
Transpose children onto this landscape. Busy mornings, likely some yelling or rushing around, then off to school.
Our children’s lives become microcosms of our own. While we might be “born” with problem solving abilities, our children learn from watching us. As adults, how we handle our lives become the ways that our children emulate us (or in some cases, try to do the opposite!).
A lot has been said about morning routines. Do a search on Google and you will see any number of inspirational writers talk about what YOU need to do on your morning routine to improve your life…
But what about our children?
While we can’t necessarily set up morning routines with cold showers, intense workouts, and journaling practices, we can certainly work to improve the routines we show to our children.
