Does your morning routine with kids end in tears—yours or theirs?
If mornings feel more like survival mode than connection time, you’re not alone. That’s why in this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real emotional chaos behind the morning routine with kids before school. Whether it’s you hiding tears in the carpool line or your child having a meltdown about missing shoes, I’ve been there—and I want to help.
As both a professional and a parent, I’ve seen firsthand how hard getting kids ready for school can be—especially when you’re committed to parenting without yelling but still find yourself shouting over toothbrushes and backpacks.
This episode will help you create a calmer, more connected morning routine with kids—even when things go sideways.
We’ll cover:
- What I learned from a terrible morning (and a brutally honest 5-year-old)
- The one thing I started doing that made the biggest difference in our morning routine with kids
- How your mood (yes, yours) shapes the entire vibe of getting kids ready for school
- Why reframing your child’s “uncooperative” behavior could be your secret weapon in parenting without yelling
- Three simple strategies you can start using tomorrow to shift your morning routine with kids before school
Because here’s the truth: chaotic mornings don’t mean you’re failing. They mean you’re human.
But with the right tools and mindset, you can trade power struggles for connection—and actually like the way your mornings feel.
Listen now to hear what finally helped me stop losing it before drop-off.
