Morning Routines To Have A Good Day At School
Today we are going to remember the importance of having personalized routines for the whole family, so that everyday life goes well. To have a good day at school, these routines are essential. Today, we’re going to focus on those morning routines, the first ones each morning, that mark what the rest of our day will be like.
These morning routines should be in place from the beginning of school days. Children spend more time in schools and need to start the day well and know how to start it.
an alarm clock
At the beginning of the school year, we can buy an alarm clock for our children. This is a good time to start giving them the responsibility to wake up and get up on time.
But beware: this doesn’t mean that we can forget about them and that we won’t need to pay attention to whether they got up or not. We will probably have to ask them to stand up several times, as usual (this is the most common).
Especially in the first week that they use the alarm clock, we will pay close attention to how the children will act. We have to wake them up, even if the clock is ticking, and we also need to make sure they get dressed and eat breakfast properly.
As they get used to the alarm clock ringing, to having their own time set by themselves, we can let them sleep a little longer. We just need to make sure they have time to get dressed, have breakfast, pack their things and get ready to go.
If they go by bus, they need to be prepared to get to the bus stop on time. If we take them to school, the morning flexibility can be a little more.
Table of morning routines for having a good day at school
Small children
With young children, it’s a great idea to create a visual list of what they need to do and what they need each morning. For example, a list of points that can be crossed off like a game as they complete tasks. Images are important.
An example:
- Dress up – put pictures of pants, shirts, socks, etc.
- Have breakfast – photo of a meal.
- Brushing teeth – image of a toothbrush and toothpaste.
- Things we’re going to take – photo of the backpack, with the lunch box for recess.
older children
If the kids are older, they won’t need pictures, but the list will still be very useful for them. This list can be placed in various places in the house, from the bedroom to the bathroom and the refrigerator. That way, they won’t have to go back to their room to see what the next task is.
The importance of breakfast to have a good day at school
All doctors and nutrition experts agree on the importance and benefits of a good breakfast every day. Breakfast provides energy after a long night period in which no nutrients have been received. Having a good breakfast will help children to focus on school.
If someday the child does not want to have a full breakfast, we will have to look for healthy alternatives that provide the necessary nutrients to start the morning. To create this breakfast, we can be as imaginative as we like.
Creating and maintaining a good morning routine is essential to having a good day at school. Also, once we get started, it will be a lot of fun to follow and it will become a kind of necessity for everyone. In other words, it will make our lives easier.
Routines always help. In that case, they will let us know, without stopping to think, how we can stay organized and how we can prepare for each day at school. Children will assimilate them without any problems and thus they will become part of their daily lives in a short time.
