NANA SAYS THE MORNING HOME RUSH HOUR IS INTENSE

Organizing the previous night helps with the rush in the morning. No matter how organized, however, children are children. They often let their needs get into the mix. A pee just before leaving. Not liking the clothes laid out. Wanting something else for breakfast. Departures are stressful! Trying to keep calm and leave happier takes a lot of energy and patience. Busy working parents have a schedule and need to be on the road at a certain time. Just look at the 10 minutes at schools when arrivals are happening. Busy, busy! Parents need to be respectful of other parents and drivers. Don't do a drop off right at the stop sign tying up traffic! The end of the day is not a rush! So try to have a different pace when coming home. Of course the night of lessons does bring lots of comings and goings too! Balancing those busy rushed times with moments of quiet and slower activities helps the whole family-especially the parents!
