We get it, nobody likes early mornings, especially not the kids, and especially not when they have to wake up early to go to school. While many schools are still teaching remotely, that’s not the case for everywhere, and everyone will eventually have to get ready to go back. With that in mind, the team at Readgrad thought we’d offer these suggestions for getting the kids to get up.
Bribe them. It may not be the strategy you’d like to start with, but trust us, it’s effective. Do your kids have a favorite breakfast? Have it ready for them if they’ll get up. Maybe a chocolate or some candy later? Why not! Food can be a great motivator but your imagination is the limit.
Wake them up earlier than needed. After all, even we hit snooze on the alarm once or twice, or seven times… Kids are no different, and when they ask for five more minutes in bed they have every right to it. So if you’re up already, wake the kids up earlier than they need to and let them go back to bed for a few more minutes, it’ll seem like an indulgence!
Make sure they’re getting enough sleep. Perhaps most importantly, if the day ahead calls for an early start time, make sure the kids get to bed early the night before. They may not like it, well rested kids will make your life so much easier in the morning!
