Do you ever have one of those mornings where you can feel it going before it goes? You are doing everything you are supposed to be doing, and somewhere around the second time you say the same sentence, you hear yourself using a tone you would never use with another adult. You are not alone, and nothing is wrong with you.

In this episode, I talk about why there is no perfect morning routine, and why even the people who study this for a living cannot agree on one. We look at what is actually happening inside a child's developing brain and nervous system in the morning, and why the strategies that work for four days keep falling apart on the fifth.

I walk you through four things that have to be true underneath any morning routine, and four small shifts you can start tomorrow. If you want mornings with less yelling and a little more sweetness before your kids walk out the door, this episode will give you something you can use right away. 

Back To School With Confidence (free through the end of September)

My workshop on the five needs children have when they move from one thing to the next. Fifty minutes with a workbook, and it goes much further than the episode can into what actually helps a child through a change. It applies at bedtime, at the end of screen time, and on the first day of anything.
