Back-to-School Doesn't Have to Mean Morning Chaos

Every August, I hear the same thing from parents:

"Last year started out okay...and then within two weeks we were yelling every morning."

Here's the good news: school mornings usually don't fall apart because parents aren't trying hard enough. They fall apart because there are simply too many tiny decisions, transitions, and opportunities for distraction packed into a short window of time.

The goal isn't a "perfect routine."

The goal is to make the routine so obvious that your child doesn't have to rely on memory, motivation, or constant reminders.
