A smooth morning starts with good quality and sufficient sleep, so if waking up in the morning is difficult, it's worth starting with our article on evening bedtime routines! We suggest that you only start building the morning routine after waking up becomes easy, otherwise, introducing the morning routine will not be successful.

Tips for Easier Mornings:

• Get Enough Sleep: You already know that children need sufficient sleep, and it might sound a bit odd, but you need it too. Sleep is not only essential for your health and well-being but also helps "smooth out" your mornings. Try to sleep for at least 7 hours whenever possible! If you can't manage it, don't worry, there's always next time! Meanwhile, smile and wish everyone a good morning in your kindest voice. Believe me, even that counts!
• Wake Up Earlier: At least 20 minutes earlier, or however much time you need, but wake up earlier than the children. Having a little time for a slow start to the day adds a lot to the rest of it.
