Is your household full of crazy kiddos running around or is it calm where everyone is getting ready for the day in an orderly fashion? Morning routines set the mood for the whole day. If your morning routine gets messed up, you’re usually not a happy camper, am I right? However, if you have a calm, relaxing morning routine, your mood for the whole day will be a lot brighter. This is especially true for kids. It’s important to get them on a schedule so you can be less stressed while they get ready for the day.
If you’ve ever scrolled through YouTube, you’ll see several videos titled “My Morning Routine” or “I Tried Jeff Bezos’ Morning Routine and It Changed My Life.” This is because morning routines set a precedent for the entire day. Business leaders in our world are known for their sacred morning routines because it helps them align their goals and plan out their day. This makes them more successful human beings.
As adults, we can use this to our advantage in our everyday lives. On the other hand, as parents, we can take this information and use it as a tool for our children to develop morning routines. Creating a morning routine for your child will enable them to get organized, make them more responsible, improve time management, and form healthy habits at an early age.
Morning Routines Make Kids More Organized
Mornings can be hectic, especially when you have kids. Making a morning routine for your kids to follow will help them get all their things together in an organized fashion. When your kids are more organized, you can spend your time focusing on your morning routine, rather than helping them get organized. For example, have your child get all their school materials together before they eat breakfast or before they watch TV. This will ensure they have everything they need for the day and you won’t have to worry if they have everything.
Morning Routines Help Kids Learn Responsibility
Morning routines set a guide for responsibility because they help your kids keep a tight schedule. Being responsible means they need to have all of their stuff ready, teeth brushed, hair combed, clothes on (hopefully), etc. Teaching your kids that they need to have all this done in the morning before their day begins helps them become more responsible humans. Over time, these habits will become part of their routine and you won’t have to remind them anymore.
Morning Routines Improve Kids’ Time Management
Time management is something we all struggle with. Having your kids start a morning routine that keeps them in check allows them to get everything done on time. If your kids don’t have a morning routine, they may forget things like their school supplies or their breakfast. Building your child’s time management allows a certain amount of time for each task to be done so that you can leave the house on time and you’re not stressed or running late.
Morning Routines Build Healthy Habits at an Early Age
Building healthy habits at an early age is probably the greatest benefit of a morning routine. By having your children repeatedly perform their morning routine day after day, they form the habit of starting their day with a morning routine. From their childhood to their teenage years to adulthood, your children will learn to partake in a morning routine that keeps them organized and less stressed
A morning routine is such a simple concept, yet many people don’t partake in it. Morning routines help not only adults but children as well prepare for the day ahead. With a solid morning routine, your child will learn how to get organized, be responsible, improve their time management, and build healthy habits at an early age.
