The first step was preparation. We needed to be more organized the night before so that chaos wouldn’t ensue in the morning. We also needed to enlist the children, having them do as much for themselves as possible, with me to guide, but not to do. The primary change was that they would begin to make their own lunches the night before. This was met with a fair amount a resistance, as they pointed out to me no one in their classes made their own lunches, that everyone’s Mother did it for them.

They got over it and eventually they even felt some pride in being able to do for themselves and have some control over what went in their lunches (I still stuffed in a note, joke or cartoon strip here and there). The next step was purchasing alarm clocks for everyone. No longer would I be the nasty one who had to drag them out of bed — Mr. Alarm Clock got that job. A firm breakfast time was set and everyone was expected to be at the table at that time. The time they got up depended on how long they needed to get ready before the “Big Breakfast.” I woke up 15 minutes earlier than usual and prepared a decent breakfast and we all sat down and ate together — how novel!!
