[quote=Anonymous]I pack lunches and snacks and set these out in advance and also have breakfast ready. My kids are 6 and 8 and have zero time sense. I’ll tell my 8 year old to go back and grab socks and I’ll find him sitting there reading a book. I am on top of them - with my 6 year old I sometimes physically wake her up (older kid has an alarm clock) and I help her get ready (clothes picked out the night before) if she’s not moving. All teeth must be brushed / kids dressed / socks on before coming downstairs for breakfast. I do have a visual timer for breakfast (which is no more than 10-15 min on any day) and have 15 min of buffer time for when that ends and when the bus departs. It’s not perfect, but I do mornings solo most days with a 2, 6 and 8 year old and from wake up to bus is 40 min. My 2 year old normally looks wild and comes back to get ready / eat but is a complicating factor 😂 I have a Fitbit that I use for knowing precisely what time it is![/quote]
