[quote=Anonymous]You stagger them. Also, yes, I would get myself mostly ready before they get up. But that should not mean getting up at 5am. I would get up at 6 and take a shower, get dressed, and apply product to my hair. Then get up older kids, they should get dressed and then come eat breakfast. I would eat breakfast with them. This would be around 6:30. After breakfast, they should go finished getting ready (brush teeth and hair, get backpacks) while also finish getting ready (brush teeth, blowdry hair if necessary, quick makeup, shoes by door). Then when the three of us are ready to go, I'd get the 4 yr old up at 6:55 and get them ready (this will be totally hands on) while older kids read or play. No TV, no screens at all, that will only make it harder to leave. Then out the door.[/quote]
