Maintain a Morning Routine

Be intentional about your morning routine. It only takes a couple of days of sleeping in to throw off your body clock. You can imagine the shock several weeks of late mornings will cause when your kids suddenly have to catch a bus at 7:15. Create a solid schedule for you and your family that includes early morning activities, so it will be easier for them to transition back into the school routine. Suggestions can include a family walk before you leave for work, working together in the garden before the sun gets too hot, family breakfast, or reading together.
