[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They take a shower/bath in the evening. Most of the prep for next day is done before bed.

My kids wake up and are handed a cup of warm milk. After drinking the milk, they use the toilet, and daily grooming - brush teeth, clean tongue, water pik, gargle, wash up, deo, cream, comb hair. They change into fresh clothes and get dressed..

Make their beds. Throw their dirty clothes in the hamper in the hallway. Put any dishes on the tray in the hallway. Empty their waste paper basket in the trash bag hanging on the banister.  Quick "Good Morning" to our Gods at the family alter. These tasks may not get done occasionally because  they are running late.

Then they come down to eat breakfast. Usually something they can grab and take to the car also if running late. Muffin sandwich with eggs,  fruit, water.  I usually load their bags, projects, gym stuff, lunch box etc in the car. I also warm the car in winter and we keep pillow and blankets in the car.

We have started doing our prayers in the car. So maybe 6 or 7 minutes of chanting on the road. Then they go to sleep for next 40 minutes under the blankets on their way to school.

My kids know how much time it takes them to do every step of getting ready to leave the house.  I also have a wall clock in their bathroom so they know how much time they have.

Our mornings are not chaotic. My kids need around 40 minutes for getting out of the house. But, they can skip everything and be ready in 10 minutes also. That has happened too.  It makes for a sucky start of the day for them.  40 minutes works great for them. I facilitate a lot of things and also have stuff ready to go.  I wake up around 2 hours before they leave so that I can get dressed, fix breakfast and also do my yoga.  [/quote]
