Every home experiences days when children don’t want to go to school. Morning battles are difficult to handle. Try these options:
- An energising snack of fruit or nuts before breakfast.
- Small rewards kept ready for good behaviour.
- A chart listing things to be done in the morning, including brushing, bathing, and eating. Stars can be rewarded every day when tasks are completed without complaint or fuss. Younger children can be given a pictorial chart, with pictures to remind them of each task.
