[quote=Anonymous]I do this every day with 3 kids under 6. Routine. Boundaries. Lots of prep the night before. All lunches made, clothes picked out, bags packed, shoes and coats laid out the night before. You must be dressed before you’re allowed downstairs. (That goes for mom too!) Breakfast is served at 8. You can arrive earlier or later but breakfast is still served at 8. No tv in the morning. I sit with them at the breakfast table and we connect before heading off in different directions for the day. I serve easy but nice breakfasts on real plates. It’s part of the calming, slow-down-and-connect experience. I don’t care about dishes. We put them in the sink and I do them later in the day.
