Morning mayhem troubles? Kids won’t get out of the house on time? I coach a lot of parents on this very topic and I struggled mightily with it myself. If we are going to change our habits we need to change our mindset and I am here to help. Below is a FIVE MINUTE recording of NEW ways of thinking in the morning. Listen EVERY morning, in a couple weeks your brain will have a new neural pathway. Below are the directions and disclaimers.
DO NOT’s
DO NOT use on children under 5.
DO NOT use unless children have been trained on what needs to get done in the morning.
DO NOT use until YOU are ready 10 minutes before it’s really time to go.
HOW TO’s
After kids know what’s going on in the morning and you know you are ok if they don’t complete all the tasks (teeth might be un-brushed, hair might be spiky, lunch may be forgotten, homework could still be sitting on the kitchen table).
You say 10 minutes before it’s go time, very cheerfully, mellow, acting as if it’s going to go well and say, “Kiddos, in 5 minutes I’m going outside to listen to a 5 minute meditation, does anyone need any last minute help?”
You walk out, with your ear buds in, ready to click, no more reminders, no more nagging, and push play . . . .
Email me the results. I can’t waaaaiiiiiit!
