Like so many families, we are busy all day long. Routines in our house help to keep things sane.
When our kids were very young, we organized 5 outfits for the week in a set of fabric shelves in their closet. Now they do it for themselves. This avoids morning confusion in trying to find a school-friendly outfit.
Evenings in our house mean getting backpacks ready for the morning. I teach elementary school and I can’t tell you how many kids come to school without what they need. My own kids now see the value in putting homework immediately in their backpack when it’s done, and getting permission slips or money for school in place the night before.
Helping them to develop a good morning and evening routines helps us everyday, and hopefully, will continue to help them as adults.
Love this PGordon! Thank you so much for sharing!
