[quote=Anonymous]If you want to change the habit, you just institute the rule (no TV in the am) and then get them some not vel stuff to do instead to help with the transition. If you say no TV and then the only option is existing books and toys, they will struggle for breaking the habit. Some toys my kids really enjoy playing with in the morning: marble run, legos, sticker books. Also, we don't have a yard but if we did, I'd get some outdoor toys for the summer and let them play out there in the morning. Outdoor time before it gets hot is nice, and the novelty of getting to play outside first thing could be a good distraction.[/quote]
